Two charges, q1 and q2, are held a fixed distance d apart. a. Find the strength of the electric force that acts on q1. Assume that q1=q2=21.3 micro COulombs and d=1.52 m. b. A third charge q3=21.3 micro COulombs is brought in and placed as shown. Find the stregnth of the electric force on q1 now.
My best attempt at showing the diagrams:
a.
q1----------q2
b.
q1----------q2

b is an equilateral triangle if you can't figure out by the diagram with all sides a distance d. edit: i see the my attemtp at diagrams isn't working too well buts the general idea
I got part a with Fe=1.77 N
I don't know what to do for part b other than its some application of Fe=kq1q2/r^2 . Thanks for the help
