Answer #1

As given that net electrostatic force on q4 = 0

Force on q4 due to other charges,

kq1q4 / x1^2 + kq2q4 / x2^2 + kq3q4 / x3^2 = 0

k*q4 (q1 / x1^2 + q2 / x2^2 + q3 / x3^2) = 0

(q1 / x1^2 + q2 / x2^2 + q3 / x3^2) = 0

(6.08*10-6 / 7.152) - (4.51*10-6 / 15.22) + (q3 / 21.62) = 0

q3 = -46.38*10-6 C

q3 = -46.38 uC
