Determine the magnitude of the force, in micronewtons, being experienced by a -7-nC charge at (-6, -5, 2) due to three infinite sheet charges. One is -8 mC/m² at x = -2, another is 9 mC/m² at y = -6,
while the last one is 8 mC/m² at z = zC. All coordinates is measured in meters.
Four point charges are arranged in a rectangle of length x and width y as shown in the figure. Two charges are positive and two are negative, but all have the same magnitude Q.
