The right answer is “Atoms “
Since it is restricted at both ends, λ/2 = length of string
λ/2 = 1.5m
λ = 1.5*2 = 3m
We have all the charges for q1, q2, and q3.
Since k = 8.988x10^2, and N=m^2/c^2
F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)
F(2on1) = k |q1 q2| / r(the distance between the two)^2
k^ | 3x10^-6 x -5 x 10^-6 | / (.2m)^2
F(2on1) = 3.37 N
Since F1 is 7N,
F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)
7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)
Since it wil be going in the negative direction,
-7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)
F(3on1) = -10.37N
F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| / r(the distance between the two)^2
r^2 x F(3on1) = k |q1 q3|
r = sqrt of k |q1 q3| / F(3on1)
= .144 m (distance between q1 and q3)
0 - .144m
So it's located in -.144m

Answer:
"where crests and troughs have their maxima at the same time"
Crests and troughs are 180 deg out of phase and when they have their maxima at the same time and place, their net contribution will be zero"
