Transcribed Image Text:### Application of Coulomb's Law with a Third Charge
When a third charge, \( Q_3 \), is introduced into the system, the following configuration arises:
#### Diagram Description
- **Charges and Positions:**
- \( Q_1 \) = +6 μC at the origin.
- \( Q_2 \) = +3 μC located 4 meters to the right of \( Q_1 \) on the x-axis.
- \( Q_3 \) is located 3 meters above \( Q_1 \) on the y-axis.
- **Force Vector and Angle:**
- The electric force \( F_1 \) on \( Q_1 \) is acting towards the upper left, at a 45° angle to the vertical.
#### Problem Statement
A. The electric force on \( Q_1 \) is now acting to the upper left, at a 45° angle to the vertical (as shown in the diagram). Calculate the unknown charge \( Q_3 \).
B. Using your answer in part (A), determine the electric force acting on \( Q_2 \). You may answer in vector component form (i.e., \( \mathbf{F_2} = (F_{x}, F_{y}) \)).
### Detailed Analysis
**Diagram Explanation:**
- **\( Q_1 \)** is at the origin.
- **\( Q_2 \)** is 4 meters along the x-axis from \( Q_1 \).
- **\( Q_3 \)** is 3 meters along the y-axis from \( Q_1 \).
- The force \( F_1 \) affects \( Q_1 \) at a 45° angle to the vertical axis heading towards the upper left.
The problem involves using Coulomb’s Law and the principles of vector addition to find the unknown charge \( Q_3 \) based on the described electric forces, and then determining the resulting force on \( Q_2 \).
### Step-by-Step Solution Approach
**Part A:**
1. **Identify Individual Forces Contribution:**
- Calculate the force due to \( Q_2 \) on \( Q_1 \), \( \mathbf{F}_{12} \).
- Calculate the force due to \( Q_3 \) on \( Q_1 \), \( \mathbf{F}_{13} \).
2. **Resolve Forces into Components:
