Expert Solution
Step 1: Note the given quantities and the required quantities

Given:

Edge length L equals 0.34 space n m

Charge on Cs+ ion = +e

Charge on Cl- ion = negative e

Required:

(a) Magnitude of the net electrostatic force on Cl- ion due to all eight Cs+ ions.

(b) Magnitude of the net electrostatic force on Cl- ion due to seven remaining Cs+ ion.
