Explanation / Answer

1) F31,x = k q1 q3 cos(60) / d2
F32,x = k q2 q3 cos(60) / d2
q1 , q2 and q3 are magnitude of charges, k is constant 9 x109
F3,x = F31,x + F32,x  = k (q1+q2) q3 cos(60) / d2
   = 1.26 x 107 N

2) F3,y = F31,y + F32,y
= k (q1-q2) q3 sin(60) / d2 (  F31,y and F21,y are along +ve and -ve direction of y axis, hence (q1-q2) )
   = 4.54x106 N

3) F2,x =  F21,x + F23,x+ F24,x
   = - k ( q3 +q4) q2 cos60 /d2 - k q1 q2 /d2  
   = - 7.13 x 107 N

4) F2,y =  F21,y + F23,y+ F24,y
= 0 + k ( q3 -q4) q2 sin60 /d2 (y component of force of charge 1 is zero)
   = 0 ( as q3 = q4)
5)  F1,x =  F12,x + F13,x+ F14,x
= k q1 q2 /d2 -  k ( q3 +q4) q1 cos60 /d2
= 4.5x107 N

6) force on 2 in y direction is zero and in x direction it is along -ve direction. To make it equal to zero sign of 1 should be changed and magnitude should be decreased as , magnitude of force of 3 and 4 on q2 is greater than that of q1
