Chapter 3, Problem 45EAP
FIGURE P3.45 shows four electric charges located at the corners of a rectangle. Like charges, you will recall, repel each other while opposite charges attract. Charge B exerts a repulsive force (directly away from B) on charge A of 3.0 N. Charge C exerts an attractive force (directly toward C) on charge A of 6.0 N. Finally, charge D exerts an attractive force of 2.0 N on charge A. Assuming that forces are vectors, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force 
exerted on charge A?

Three positive charges are at the vertices of an equilateral triangle that measures 1 cm on a side . One charge is 6.7 nC, and the other two charges are both 2.0 nC. What is the magnitude of the net electric force on the 6.7 nC charge due to the other two charges?
Hint: Draw a good free body diagram for the 6.7 nC charge. Sketch the vector forces acting on it and sum their components in both directions.
