In part (a) of the figure, particle 1 (of charge q₁) and particle 2 (of charge 92) are fixed in place on an x axis, 4.00 cm apart. Particle 3 (of charge q3= +8.00 × 10-19 C) is to be placed on the line between particles 1 and 2 so that they produce a net electrostatic force on it. In part (b) of the figure below gives the x component of that force versus the coordinate x at which particle 3 is placed. The scale of the x axis is set by x = 4.00 cm. What are (a) the sign of charge 9₁ and (b) the ratio 92/91?
