### Problem 11: Calculating Net Forces on Charged Particles

#### Description
Particles with charges of \( +65 \, \mu\text{C} \), \( +48 \, \mu\text{C} \), and \( -95 \, \mu\text{C} \) are aligned in a straight line, with the distances between adjacent charges being 0.35 meters (Fig. 16–52). The objective is to compute the net force exerted on each charge by the other two charges.

#### Diagram Explanation
- **Figure 16-52** displays three charged particles in a linear arrangement:
  - A particle with charge \( +65 \, \mu\text{C} \) is positioned on the left.
  - Next to it, to the right, is a particle with charge \( +48 \, \mu\text{C} \). The distance between these two particles is 0.35 meters.
  - The third particle, with charge \( -95 \, \mu\text{C} \), is placed to the right of the \( +48 \, \mu\text{C} \) charge, at another 0.35-meter distance.

The visual representation helps in understanding the physical setup for calculating the forces.

#### Objective
Calculate the net force on each of the three charges as a result of the other two charges.

### Solutions Steps:

1. **Identify Forces Acting on Each Charge**:
   - Use Coulomb’s Law, which states that the force \( F \) between two point charges \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) separated by a distance \( r \) is given by:
     \[
     F = k_e \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2}
     \]
     where \( k_e \) is Coulomb's constant (\( 8.99 \times 10^9 \frac{\text{Nm}^2}{\text{C}^2} \)).

2. **Calculate Force Between Pair of Charges**:
   - Compute the individual forces for each pair of charges taking both magnitude and direction (attraction or repulsion) into account.

3. **Determine Net Force on Each Charge**:
   - Sum the forces vectorially to get the net force on each charge from the other two charges.
  
4. **Account for Directions**:
