Vector math with charges?

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

Q: four charges are arranged at the corners of a rectangle as shown (I'll draw). Use D=4m, L=3m, Q1=2uC, Q2=-1.5uC, Q3=-3uC and Q4=2uC. Determine the magnitude and the direction of the net force on Q1 due to the other three charges.

Can't draw on mobile :( So best I can do: Q1 Q2 |L Q3 ______ Q4 D

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

I used F=k|Q1Q2|/r^2

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

apply \(\sf F = k \dfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2} \) but do you want to do identify whether relative to i, j or k

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

I want to say i
