At each corner of a square of side there are point charges of magnitude Q, 2Q, 3Q, and 4Q

Answer:

$\displaystyle |F_t|=10.9\ \frac{KQ^2}{l^2}$

$\displaystyle \theta =68^o$

Explanation:

Electrostatic Force

It's the force that appears between two electrical charges q1 q2 when they are placed at a certain distance d. The force can be computed by using the Coulomb's law:

$\displaystyle F=\frac{KQ_1Q_2}{d^2}$

We have an arrangement of 4 charges as shown in the image below. We need to calculate the total force exerted on the charge 2Q by the other 3 charges. The free body diagram is also shown in the second image provided. The total force on 2Q is the vectorial sum of F1, F2, and F3. All the forces are repulsive, since all the charges have the same sign. Let's compute each force as follows:

$\displaystyle |F_1|=\frac{KQ(2Q)}{l^2}=\frac{2KQ^2}{l^2}$

$\displaystyle |F_2|=\frac{K(2Q)(4Q)}{l^2}=\frac{8KQ^2}{l^2}$

The distance between 3Q and 2Q is the diagonal of the rectagle of length l:

$\displaystyle |d_3|=\sqrt{l^2+l^2}=\sqrt{2}\ l$

The force F3 is

$\displaystyle |F_3|=\frac{K(3Q)(2Q)}{(\sqrt{2l)}^2}=\frac{3KQ^2}{l^2}$

Each force must be expressed as vectors. F1 is pointed to the right direction, thus its vertical components is zero

$\displaystyle \vec{F_1}=\left \langle |F_1|,0 \right \rangle=\left \langle \frac{2KQ^2}{l^2},0 \right \rangle$

F2 is pointed upwards and its horizontal component is zero

$\displaystyle \vec{F_2}=\left \langle 0,\frac{8KQ^2}{l^2} \right \rangle$

F3 has two components because it forms an angle of 45° respect to the horizontal, thus

$\displaystyle \vec{F_3}=\left \langle \frac{3KQ^2}{l^2}\ cos45^o,\frac{3KQ2}{l^2} sin45^o\right \rangle$

$\displaystyle \vec{F_3}=\left \langle \frac{3\sqrt{2}KQ^2}{2l^2},\frac{3\sqrt{2}KQ^2}{2l^2}\right \rangle$

Now we compute the total force

$\displaystyle \vec{F_t}=\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}+\vec{F_3}$

$\displaystyle \vec{F_t}=\left \langle \frac{2KQ^2}{l^2},0 \right \rangle +\left \langle 0,\frac{8KQ^2}{l^2} \right \rangle + \left \langle \frac{3\sqrt{2}KQ^2}{2l^2},\frac{3\sqrt{2}KQ^2}{2l^2}\right \rangle$

$\displaystyle \vec{F_t}=\left \langle \left(2+\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)\frac{KQ^2}{l^2},\left(8+\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) \frac{KQ^2}{l^2}\right \rangle$
