Explanation / Answer

Here ,

let the charge placed at the corner is q ,

Now, for the force on the charge A to be in vertical direction

force due to lower right charge + horizontal component of unknown charge = 0

k * 3.0 * 3/(4*d)^2 + k * q* 3/(d^2 + 16d^2) * cos(arctan(1/4)) = 0

3.0 * 3/(4)^2 + q* 3/(1 + 16) * cos(arctan(1/4)) = 0

solving for q

q = -3.29 uC

the charge at the empty corner should be -3.29 uC
