Question
**Problem Statement:**

Three charged particles are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle, as shown in the figure below. Let \( q = 1.20 \, \mu C \) and \( L = 0.570 \, \text{m} \). Calculate the total electric force on the \( 7.00 \, \mu C \) charge.

- Magnitude: __________ N
- Direction: __________° (counterclockwise from the +x axis)

**Diagram Explanation:**

In the diagram, the equilateral triangle has vertices at three charged particles. The charges and their locations are as follows:

1. **Top Vertex (Positive Charge)**: A charge of \( 7.00 \, \mu C \) is located at the top vertex.
2. **Bottom Left Vertex (Positive Charge)**: This vertex has a charge labeled as \( q \), where \( q = 1.20 \, \mu C \).
3. **Bottom Right Vertex (Negative Charge)**: This vertex has a negative charge of \( -4.00 \, \mu C \).

- The distance between each pair of charges is represented as \( L = 0.570 \, \text{m} \).
- The angle between the horizontal axis (x-axis) and the line connecting the \( 7.00 \, \mu C \) charge to the \( q \) charge is \( 60.0^\circ \).

Please note that the diagram illustrates both the geometric arrangement of the particles and the symbolic representation of charges.
