A charge of -1.0 µC is located at the origin, a second charge of 1 µC is located at x = 0, y = 0.1 m, and a third charge of 11 µC is located at x = 0.2 m, y = 0. Find the forces that act on each of the three charges.

q = -1.0 µC
2.475  N î + .9  N ĵ
q = 1 µC
.885  N î + .885  N ĵ
q = 11 µC
.885  N î + .885  N ĵ

(values for q=-1 is correct but all other values are wrong please show all work)

A large boat with 91.44 m in length and 42.672 m in width is carrying 1,360,777.11 kg of coal along the river with a 2.7432m draft (the height from waterline to bottom of the boat). What is the draft and weight of the boat when the boat is empty (no coal)? What is the draft and weight of the boat if the boat hits a wave and looses 10 tons of coal? Treat the boat as a rectangular cylinder. Use university introductory physics techniques.
