Homework Statement
Consider the triangle of charges diagrammed below, for which d = 5 cm, q = 2 nC, and the +x-axis points to the right. What is the force Fvec on the 1 nC charge? Give your answer as a magnitude and a direction.
Homework Equations
F=K(q)(Q)/r^2
The Attempt at a Solution
I am not sure what to do. I converted the nc to c, and the cm to m. Then I did
F= K(1X10^-9)(2X10^-9)/.05^2
Then I would multiply this by two because the two sides are effecting the charge. Is this on the right track?
Thanks
