Explanation:
Given
Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge
Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

where
Distance between the two charges

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force
Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

The magnitude of force by both the charge is same but at an angle of 
thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge
Thus net force will be

Answer:
a = F/m
Explanation:
So we have to isolate a, in order to do this we need to move m to the other side, and we do that by diving both sides by m, resulting in a = F/m
Answer:
0.08 ft/min
Explanation:
To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.
So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth <em>d</em> and the other (lets call it <em>l</em>) is given by:

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.
Now we can calculate the longitudinal section <em>A</em> at that point:

And the raising speed <em>v </em>of the water is given by:

where <em>q</em> is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).
