QUESTION:

The drawing shows three point charges fixed in place. The charge at the coordinate origin has a value of \(q_{1}=+8.00 \mu \mathrm{C}\); the other two charges have identical magnitudes, but opposite signs: \(q_{2}=-5.00 \mu \mathrm{C}\) and \(q_{3}=+5.00 \mu \mathrm{C}\).

(a) Determine the net force (magnitude and direction) exerted on \(q_{1}\) by the other two charges.

(b) If \(q_{1}\) had a mass of 1.50 g and it were free to move, what would be its acceleration?
