(b) What is the y component of the force exerted by A on C?
N

(c) Find the magnitude of the force exerted by B on C.
N

(d) Calculate the x component of the force exerted by B on C.
N

(e) Calculate the y component of the force exerted by B on C.
N

(f) Sum the two x components from parts (a) and (d) to obtain the resultant x component of the electric force acting on C.
N

(g) Similarly, find the y component of the resultant force vector acting on C.
N

(h) Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant electric force acting on C.

magnitude ____ N direction ____ ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis

Explanation / Answer

A) ZERO BECAUSE ONLY ALONG Y-DIRECTION WILL BE THERE.

B) FY = K (1.05) (3.24) * 10-8 / 9

= 34 N

C) F= K (1.05) (5.46) * 10-8 / 25

= 20.64 N

D) Fx= 4/5 * 20.64

= 16.5 N

E) Fy = 3/5 * 20.64

= 12.38 N
