Question

In the figure below, the particles have charges q1= -q2= 173 nC and q3= -q4= 168 nC, and distance a = 4.5 cm.

For the following questions, take right to be the +x direction and up to be the +y direction.

(a) What is the x component of the net electrostatic force on particle 3?

..... N?


(b) What is the y component of the net electrostatic force on particle 3?

..... N?


show steps please! Thanks in advance!
