The respective charges on three identical metal spheres (q1, q2 and q3) are ̶ 16.9 µ C,
5.60 µ C and 2.6 µ C. The spheres are brought together so that they touch each other,
and are then separated and placed on the x and y axes.
Calculate the net electrostatic force exerted on the sphere that is located at the origin
q1 is at origin, q2 is at (5.3mm,0), q3 is at (0,5.3mm)

charge on each after touching =1/3 (-16.9+5.6+2.6)e-6 C = Q
so now, you have two forces (q1q2, q1,q3) at right angles
force from each: kQ^2/.0053^2
so the net force (right angles) is sqrt(2F^2)=Fsqrt2=kQ^2/.0053^2 * sqrt2
