Ok Since Fx net = 0 the only ones to take into account are the y directions. I have come up with Fnet = -F52 + F54 = |3.622*10-26| And the direction is towards the -y correct? Or am I completely off base?

Homework Statement In the figure 21-29, particles 2 and 4, of charge -e, are fixed in place on a y axis, at y2 = -7.20 cm and y4 = 16.6 cm. Particles 1 and 3, of charge -e, can be moved along the x axis. Particle 5, of charge +e, is fixed at the origin. Initially particle 1 is at x1 = -9.84...
