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:

F_1x= ___N,

F_1y= ___N.

F_2x= ___N,

F_2y= ___ N.

F_3x= ___ N,

F_3y= ___ 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.
