Answer:
Fr = 1.91 * 9*10⁹*q²/L²
Explanation:
Let´s say that the corners of the square are A B C and D
We are going to find out the force on the charge placed on B ( the charge placed in the upper right corner.
As all the charges are positive (the same sign), then all the three forces on the charge in B are of rejection.
Force due to charge placed in A
module Fₓ = K* q² / L² in the direction of x
Force due to charge placed in C
module Fy = K* q²/L² in the direction of y
Force due to the charge placed in D
That force will have the direction of the diagonal of the square, and the distance between charges placed in D and A is the length of the diagonal.
d² = L² + L² = 2*L²
d = √2 * L
The module of the force due to charge place in D
F₄₅ = K*q²/ 2*L²
To get the force we need to add first Fₓ and Fy
Fx + Fy = F₁
module of F₁ = √ Fx² + Fy² the direction will be the same as the diagonal of the square then:
F₁ = √ ( K* q²/L² )² + ( K* q²/L² )²
F₁ = √ 2 * K*q²/L²
And now we add forces F₁ and F₄₅ to get the net force Fr on charge in point B.
The direction of Fr is the direction of the diagonal and is of rejection
the module is
Fr = F₁ * F₄₅
Fr = √ 2 * K*q²/L² + K*q²/ 2*L²
Fr = ( √ 2 + 0,5 ) * K*q² /L²
K = 9*10⁹ Nm²C²
Fr = 1.91 * 9*10⁹*q²/L²
We don´t know units of L and q
