Sorry, I'm really confused about this one. >.< I'm not quite sure where I'm supposed to use the angle, but I think the angle is 26 degrees. How does 6.7 N sound as an answer though? I tried solving for r(hat) and using that and ended up with that answer. =x
Extract as in not bother with? So, basically I should use the distance of sqrt(5) between each charge to find the force caused by either q2 or q3 and then multiply it by two since there are two of them and it's symmetrical/same charge? Or am I way off? =x
@Cupid: You mean sqrt(5)? :O
Umm, would that just end up being .94 N? I basically took ((9*10^9)/(2^2))(22*10^-6)(19*10^-6). Or am I not allowed to use 2 for my distance in that case? =x
So, I should be using the square root of five as the distance then? And yes, it's in meters, sorry. >.<
Edit: Just remembered, I tried the square root of five as the distance before and got 1.5, but it said that was wrong as well. =/
Well, I tried to act as though the x-components of the force from q2 and the force from q3 existed, since the y-component of the force on q1 was 0. This is basically what my math looks like:
((9*10^9)/4)(22*10^-6)(2)(19*10^-6) = 1.88
The 9*10^9 is the proportionality constant and is in...
Homework Statement
Basically, I am given a graph with three charges, q1, q2, and q3 on it and told that the charge on q1 is 22 microcoulombs and the charge on q2 is 19 microcoulombs. I am then told that the force on q1 points in the -x direction which I used to find that the charge on q3...
