Can anyone help me with #3 on problem set #1?

So use your F = q1q2/er2 equation but make sure that you take into account if the charges are attractive or repulsive. So you'll need to compute the test charge compared to each of the two other charges and then subtract the two answers, put force in as a positive number bc the negative sign just designates direction

don't you need a "k" aka "1/(4*pi*epsilon)"? I assume your using SI-units.
