Explanation / Answer

Force due to q = k*2.2*10-9*7*10-9/L2 = 9*109*2.2*10-9*7*10-9/0.552=   4.58 * 10-7N at 60 degree with x

Force due to -4uC = k*4*10-9*7*10-9/L2 = 9*109*4*10-9*7*10-9/0.552= 8.33 * 10-7N at -60 degree with x

Lets add x components of both

Fx = 4.58 * 10-7N cos 60 +8.33 * 10-7N cos(-60) = 6.46   * 10-7N

Fy= 4.58 * 10-7N sin 60 +8.33 * 10-7N sin(-60) = -3.25 * 10-7N

Net force = sq root of [ Fx2 +Fy2]= 7.23 * 10-7N........answer of first part

tan theta =Fy/Fx= -3.25 * 10-7/ 6.46   * 10-7N = -0.503

theta = -26.7 degree counterclockwse from x axis.......answer of second part
