An astronaut on the ISS is doing an experiment with two puffy Cheetos inside a carefully sealed container. A charge of 1.2 E−5 C is place on the first Cheeto. The second one, at a distance of 70.0 cm from the first, receives a charge of 2.5 E−6 C. What is the force acting on the first Cheeto if k = 8
