The drawing shows three point charges fixed in place. The charge at the coordinate origin has a value of q₁ +7.74 μC; the other two have identical magnitudes, but opposite signs: q2 = -7.16 μC and q3 = +7.16 μC. (a) Determine the net force exerted on q₁ by the other two charges. (b) If q₁ had a mass of 1.50 g and it were free to move, what would be its acceleration? (a) Number (b) Number i Units Units 1.30 m 23.0 23.0 1.30 m 92 43 +X
