Question: The three point charges + 4 . 0 mu C , - 5 . 0 mu C , and - 9 . 0

The three point charges +4.0\mu C,-5.0\mu C, and -9.0\mu C are placed on the x-axis at the points x =0 cm, x =40 cm, and x =120 cm, respectively. A. what is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on the -9.0 mu C charge due to the other two charges? B. what is the direction of the force. C. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic field due to the other two charges at the position x=120 cm before the -9.0 mu C charge is put in place. D what is the direction of the field?
