**Problem Statement:** The three charges in the figure below are at the vertices of an isosceles triangle. Let \( q = 5.50 \, \text{nC} \) and calculate the electric potential at the midpoint of the base. (Let \( d_1 = 1.50 \, \text{cm} \) and \( d_2 = 5.50 \, \text{cm} \).) **Diagram Explanation:** The diagram depicts an isosceles triangle with charges at each vertex. The triangle consists of: - One positive charge \( +q \) at the top vertex. - Two negative charges \( -q \) at the bottom vertices. - The base of the triangle is labeled \( d_1 \), which measures 1.50 cm. - The equal sides of the triangle, extending from the top charge to each of the bottom charges, are labeled \( d_2 \), which measures 5.50 cm. Below the diagram, there is an empty box labeled "kV" which suggests entering the calculated electric potential in kilovolts.
