Explanation:

The magnitude and direction of the resultant force on q3 is;

F_net = 32.2 N in the direction of q3

We are given;

q1 = +2 μC = 2 × 10^(-6) C

q2 = -3 μC = -3 × 10^(-6) C

q3 = +4 μC = 4 × 10^(-6) C

Now,from the given image, charges q1 and q2 attract charge q3.

Formula for force on a charge is;

F = (kq1 * q2)/r²

Where;

k = 9 × 10^(9) N.m²/C²

Thus;

F_y = kq1*q3/(r1)²

We have;

q1 = 2 × 10^(-6) C

r1 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

q3 = 4 × 10^(-6) C

Thus;

F_y = (9 × 10^(9) × 2 × 10^(-6) × 4 × 10^(-6))/(0.05^(2))

F_y = 28.8 N

Similarly;

F_x = kq2*q3/(r2)²

r2 = 5/(tan 30)

r2 = 8.66 cm = 0.0866 m

F_x = (9 × 10^(9) × -3 × 10^(-6) × 4 × 10^(-6))/(0.0866^(2))

F_x = -14.4 N

Thus, magnitude of resultant force is;

F_net = √((28.8)² + (-14.4)²)

F_net = √1,036.8

F_net = 32.2 N
