Two identical positive charges and a negative charge are fixed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle in vacuum. Write down expression for the net electrostatic force Fnet on the negative charge in terms of forces F between the II * II positive and negative charges. Please use for products (e.g. B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate. For trigonometric functions use the usual cos and sin (e.g. cos(40) or sin(50), where 40 and 50 are degrees). Please use the "Display response" button to check you entered the answer you expect.
