### Problem Statement

Particle A of charge \(2.79 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{C}\) is at the origin, particle B of charge \(-6.54 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{C}\) is at (4.00 m, 0), and particle C of charge \(1.05 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{C}\) is at (0, 3.00 m). We wish to find the net electric force on C.
