Question: Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q1 = -25 C at y1 = +0.22 m and a positive

Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q1 = -25 µC at y1 = +0.22 m and a positive point charge q2 at y2 = 10.34 m. A third point charge q = 18.4 µ is fixed at the origin. The net electrostatic force exerted on the charge q by the other two charges has a magnitude of 27 N and points in the +y direction. Determine the magnitude of q2.
