Four charges form an isosceles trapezoid: Q1 = +2C is located at vertex X; Q2 = -3C is located at vertex Y; Q3 = +4C is located at vertex Z; Q4 = -5C is located at %3D vertex W. The shorter side of the trapezoid has a length of four meters and the longest side has a length of eight meters. If the altitude of the trapezoid is three meters, determine the repelling force between charge 1 and charge 3.
