Detailed Solution

The force on charge at A,

FAB=K(q)(q)a2=Kq2a2

In the same way,

FAC=Kq2a2

So, the angle b/wFAB&FAC=60

When adding vectors using a parallelogram, we get,

Fr1=FAB2+FAC2+2FABFACcosθ=(3)Kq2a22=Kq2a23N

The identical force will be applied to all three charges, but in separate directions.
