A triangle with equal sides of length 1.0 Ă—103 m has -2.4-C charged objects at each corner. a) Determine the magnitude of the electrical force exerted on the object at the top corner due to the two objects at the base of the triangle. b) Determine the direction of the electrical force exerted on the object at the top corner due to the two objects at the base of the triangle. Assume +x to be to the right, and +y to be up.
