Two protons and an electron are fixed on the corners of a rectangle, as shown. One proton is at (0 nm, 1.75 nm) and the other proton is at (1.15 nm, 0 nm). The electron is fixed at (1.15 nm, 1.75 nm). What is the angle made by the force on the electron due to the two protons, measured with respect to the +x axis? Note: I know the answer is 203 but I want to understand how to get there. Please provide clear steps.
