Explanation / Answer


electric field is same at the y = 6.5 cm due to both the charges


required Electric field is Enet = 2*E*sin(theta)

E = k*q/r^2 = (9*10^9*5.4*10^-6)/((2.4^2+6.5^2)*10^-4) = 10.12*10^6 N/C


Sin(theta) = 6.5/(sqrt(6.5^2+2.4^2)) = 0.938

then Enet = 2*10.12*10^6*0.938 = 18.98*10^6 N/C


2) Force F = q*E = 1.43*10^-9*18.98*10^6 = 0.0271414 N
