The charges and coordinates of two charged particles held fixed in an xy plane are q1 = 3.09 μC, x1 = 3.70 cm, y1 = 0.604 cm and q2 = -5.45 μC, x2 = -2.27 cm, y2 = 1.52 cm.
Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (with respect to +x-axis in the range (-180°;180°]) of the electrostatic force on particle 2 due to particle 1. At what (c) x and (d) y coordinates should a third particle of charge q3 = 4.50 μC be placed such that the net electrostatic force on particle 2 due to particles 1 and 3 is zero?
