Figure this out and you'll get a free prize (physics question)
 

Alright if somebody out there can get this problem you'll win the mystery prize. Don't ask what it is cause its a mystery but its a good prize ;)

Here it is:



What are the horizontal and vertical components of the resultant electrostatic force on the charge in the lower left corner of the square if q = 1.4x10^(-7) Coulombs and a = 5.4 cm? (Assume the positive directions are upward and to the right.)



+q -----a--- (-q)
| |

a a

+2q----a----(-2q)



Hurry up too contest ends tomorrow at 10:00a.m. East coast time

"What are the horizontal and vertical components of the resultant electrostatic force on the charge in the lower left corner of the square."


Basically just in vector notation. You gotta use the equation:

F= 8.99x10^9 * (|q1||q2|)/ r^2 where

The q's are the electrical charge. I'll be shittin' kittens if I don't figure this one out.

If that's seriously a question, I'm fucked. I can't follow the first few.....words? Good thing I don't have to know that ---- in my line of work. :-[ :-\

On second thought, with all the fucked up ---- strolling through my mind at odd intervals, I don't want or need any of that ---- taking up space. :-\ I can only imagine the shitty dreams that go along with knowing that sort of thing. ???

---- im chilling here at RPI. I'll see if I can get someone to figure it out for you tomarrow AM. All the fuckers went out clubbing but its all saugage fest BS around here so i just chilled here and watched the pats game with some cool brews.

horizontal= -2.844*10^(-6) N
vertical= 7.82*10^(-7) N

you think so? How'd you do it?
