Question

what is the net force on charge Q3?

what is the sum of the forces on all of the 3 charges?

the answers is just whole numbers, i got 45 for the first one, im stuck! help!!! PLEASE

Three point charges are arranged in a horizontal line as shown below. Find the electric forces (in units of kQ2/R2) on the charges given the following: Q1 =-9 Q, Q2 = 45 Q, Q3 =-72 Q, 3 R, and r2 = 3 R. Remember that a positive force points to the right and a negative force points to the left. 3 What is the force on charge Q1 due to Q2?

Explanation / Answer

force on charge Q1 due to Q2 = kQ1Q2/r1^2

= (k x 9Q x 45Q) / (3R)^2 = 45 kQ^2 / R^2

Ans. 45

------------------------------

force on Q1 due to Q3, F = kQ1Q3/ (r1+r2)^2

= - (k x 9Q x 72Q) / (6R)^2 = - 18 kQ^2 / R^2

Ans. - 18

---------------------------------------

force on Q2 due to Q3, F = kQ2Q3/ (r2)^2
= (k x 45Q x 72Q) / (3R)^2 = 360 kQ^2 / R^2

Ans. 360

------------------------------

force on Q2 due to Q1, F = kQ1Q2/ (r1)^2

= (k x 9Q x 45Q) / (3R)^2 = - 45 kQ^2 / R^2

Ans. -45

--------------------------------

force on Q3 due to Q1, F = kQ1Q3/ (r1+r2)^2

= (k x 9Q x 72Q) / (6R)^2 = 18 kQ^2 / R^2

Ans. 18

--------------------------------------
force on Q3 due to Q2, F = kQ2Q3/ (r2)^2
= - (k x 45Q x 72Q) / (3R)^2 = - 360 kQ^2 / R^2

Ans. -360

--------------------

net forve on Q1 = 45-18 = 27
