Three identical point charges , each 10 mC , are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle such that two of these charges are located at the coordinate origin and at (10 cm, 0 cm) and the other charge is located at point P whose coordinates are both positive. Determine the net force on charge placed at point P.
