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)

+2q----a----(-2q)
Hurry up too contest ends tomorrow at 10:00a.m. East coast time

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.
