A particle with charge q is located at the origin, and a particle with charge 3q is on the positive x axis, a distance d from the origin. The particles are not free to move. In terms of q and d, at what coordinates should a third particle with charge q be placed so that it experiences no net electrostatic force? (Assume r is the location of the third particle away from the origin, along the positive x axis.)
