Three charges, q1 = 13.80 nC, q2 = -16.99 nC, and q3 = -18.12 nC, are placed on three corners of a square, as shown in the figure. Each side of the square is 71.82 cm. Compute the magnitude of the electric field, in N/C, at the fourth corner (see the solid black dot on the figure). Express your answers accurate to two decimal places.
