Three point charges are arranged as shown in the figure below. (Take q1 = 5.70 nC, q2 = 4.60 nC, and q3 = −2.82 nC.) (a) Find the magnitude of the electric force on the particle at the origin. N (b) Find the direction of the electric force on the particle at the origin. (counterclockwise from the +x-axis)
