Question

A charge +q is located at the origin, while anidentical charge is located on the x axis at x =+0.50 m. A third charge of +2 q is located on thex axis at such a place that the net electrostatic force onthe charge at the origin doubles, its direction remainingunchanged. Where should the third charge be located? I answered this question and got +0.71m. Is this answercorrect? For some reason the question posted on this website (Physics7th, Cutnell, Chap. 18, P#10) is different from what is in actuallyin the textbook. I don't if you can access this problem. Thank you.
