### Electric Force Calculation in an Equilateral Triangle

#### Problem Statement:
Three charged particles are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure below (let \( q = 3.00 \, \mu \text{C} \) and \( L = 0.530 \, \text{m} \)). Calculate the total electric force on the \( 7.00 \, \mu \text{C} \) charge.

**Inputs:**
- **Charge (q):** \( 3.00 \, \mu \text{C} \)
- **Length (L):** \( 0.530 \, \text{m} \)
- **Charge to be calculated (Q):** \( 7.00 \, \mu \text{C} \)

**Results:**
- **Magnitude of the electric force:** \( 0.814 \, \text{N} \)
- **Direction of the electric force:** Not provided as the needed components are missing.

#### Figure Explanation:

The figure presents an equilateral triangle with charges located at each vertex as follows:
- A charge of \( 7.00 \, \mu \text{C} \) is located at the top vertex of the triangle.
- A charge of \( q = 3.00 \, \mu \text{C} \) is located at the bottom-left vertex.
- A charge of \( -4.00 \, \mu \text{C} \) is located at the bottom-right vertex.

Key features of the diagram:
- An equilateral triangle is formed with each side labeled \( L \).
- The angle between each side of the equilateral triangle is \( 60.0^\circ \).
- Axes \( x \) and \( y \) are drawn for reference, with the diagram situated in the first quadrant.

#### Notes on Calculation:
To find the direction of the total force, components of the forces due to each charge should be calculated and summed up. The direction is typically measured counterclockwise from the positive \( x \)-axis. 

Unfortunately, the components required for this calculation are missing, so the direction cannot be determined without them. 

Ensure to break down the forces into \( x \)- and \( y \)-components, sum these components, and then determine the resultant vector to find both the magnitude and direction of the total force.
