Problem

A −5.0 μC-5.0\,\mu\text{C} point charge is located at the origin of an x–yx\text{–}y coordinate system. A +4.0 μC+4.0\,\mu\text{C} point charge is fixed at the point (0.040 m, 0.030 m)(0.040\,\text{m},\,0.030\,\text{m}). Determine the xx-component of the electrostatic force acting on the negative charge due to the positive charge. Express your answer in newtons, using the sign to indicate direction.
