Three point-like charges: q1=9.8
μC, q2=4.8 μC and
q3=-9.6 μC, are positioned at
the corners of an equilateral triangle with side length
L= 3.9 cm shown in the figure below.
Find electrostatic forces F1, F2 and F3 exerted on each of the respective charges in terms of their components with respect to shown axes:
F1x= ___N,
F1y= ___N.
F2x= ___N,
F2y= ___ N.
F3x= ___ N,
F3y= ___ N.
Check if your numerical results (at least approximately) agree with the statement that the total force F=F1+F2+F3 exerted on this whole system must be zero.
