Question
Two particles are fixed on an x axis. Particle 1 of charge 58.7 μC is located at x = -23.7 cm; particle 2 of charge Q is located at x = 20.7 cm. Particle 3 of charge magnitude 50.0 μC is released from rest on the y axis at y = 23.7 cm. What is the value of Q if the initial acceleration of particle 3 is in the positive direction of (a) the x axis and (b) the y axis?
