**Problem Statement:**What is the net force exerted on \( q_1 \) (top right corner) by the other three charges?**Diagram Explanation:**Four charges are positioned at the corners of a square. Each side of the square measures 2.5 cm. The layout of the charges is as follows:- \( q_1 = 3.0 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{C} \) (positive charge) is located at the top right corner.- \( q_2 = -3.0 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{C} \) (negative charge) is located at the bottom right corner.- \( q_3 = 3.0 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{C} \) (positive charge) is located at the bottom left corner.- \( q_4 = -3.0 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{C} \) (negative charge) is located at the top left corner.The charges labeled \( q_1 \) and \( q_3 \) are colored blue, indicating like charges (both positive), while the charges labeled \( q_2 \) and \( q_4 \) are colored red, indicating like charges (both negative).**Objective:**The goal is to determine the net force on \( q_1 \) due to the interactions with the other three charges (\( q_2, q_3, \) and \( q_4 \)). The forces between these charges are determined by Coulomb's law, which states that the force between two charges is proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

You are working as an expert witness for an inventor. The inventor devised a system that allows an 85.0-kg human to hover above the ground at the surface of the Earth due to the repulsive force between a charge q applied to his body and the normal electric charge on the Earth. The normal charge on the Earth is such that the electric field is uniform from near the Earths surface, directed downward toward the surface, and is of magnitude 130 N/C at the location of the engineers experiments. Everything went well until the engineer tried a new experiment. He attempted to transfer the same amount of charge q to each of two experimental subjects standing next to each other, so they could hover and work close together on a task. The charged, hovering experimental subjects repelled each other and were injured as they flew away in opposite directions. Both experimental subjects are now suing the inventor for their injuries. The inventor is claiming that it is not his fault if the subjects find each other repulsive. To find out whether the inventor has a good defense, determine the initial acceleration of each subject if they are working 1.00 m apart.
