Question: Consider two charged particles, one at the position x = 4 . 3 cm , y = 0 . 0 cm and another at position

Consider two charged particles, one at the position x =4.3 cm, y =0.0 cm and another at position x =0.0 cm and y =2.7 cm. Each particle has a charge of +10.2\mu C. There is a third charged particle with a charge of -4.7\mu C at the origin (x =0.0 cm, y =0.0 cm).1. Separately calculate the magnitude of each particles electric force acting on the particle at at the origin (0,0).2. Calculate the vector sum of these two forces (magnitude and direction), again on the charge at (0,0).Hint 1: The positions of these particles are chosen such that the two vectors F1 and F2 point along the x and y axes, respectively. This makes the sum of the two vectors less tricky to calculate.
