Homework 1 Predict/Calculate Problem 19.83 Three charges are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side $a = 0.93 \text{ m}$, as shown in the figure (Figure 1). Charges 1 and 3 are $7.1 \,\mu\text{C}$; charge 2 is $-7.1 \,\mu\text{C}$. Part A Find the magnitude of the net force acting on charge 3. Express your answer using two significant figures. F = 0.52 N Figure 1 of 1 y 1 a/2 3 O a/2 2 x Part B Find the direction of the net force acting on charge 3. Express your answer as an integer. counterclockwise from the positive x axis
