Problem

A +2.0 μC+2.0\,\mu\text{C} charge is kept at the origin. Two other charges are located at ⟨0.25 m, 0.25 m⟩\langle0.25\,\text{m},\,0.25\,\text{m}\rangle (charge −3.0 μC-3.0\,\mu\text{C}) and ⟨−0.30 m, 0.10 m⟩\langle-0.30\,\text{m},\,0.10\,\text{m}\rangle (charge +4.0 μC+4.0\,\mu\text{C}). Calculate the components of the net force acting on the charge at the origin. (i) FxF_x (ii) FyF_y
