chrisk thanks for the help, I figured it out in like 5 minutes..I can't believe didnt realize it before.

I see what you mean..im not sure how to use superposition in this case since both the forces from the two 5q balls on the left are in opposing diagonals. So the resultant force is directed to the right horizontally correct? I tried finding the F53x and F53y components but i think that both...

well i tried putting in 0 for the answer and it did not work because I initially thought the opposing diagonals cancel each other out, but apparently that is not the case.

i don't know the value of q though.

Homework Statement A ball, which we can treat as a point charge, has a charge of +Q and a weight of 9.00 N. This ball is 50 cm away from a ball of charge -10Q, which is fixed in position. The +Q ball is 30 cm vertically below, and 40 cm horizontally, from the other ball, and the +Q ball is...

Homework Statement Nine different charged balls, which we treat as point charges, are arranged in a highly symmetric pattern around a square. Note that the value of Q is 4.00 x 10-6C, and L = 30.0 cm Image: http://www.webassign.net/userimages/81224?db=v4net Homework Equations 1)...
