Homework Statement
Three charges are fixed in the x-y plane as follows: 1.6nC at the origin (0, 0); 2.6nC at (0.55 , 0); –2.1 nC at (0, 1.15 ).
Find the force acting on the charge at the origin.
Express your answers using two significant figures. Enter the x and y components of the force separated by a comma.

F=kQQ/r^2
The Attempt at a Solution
Fx=(2.6E-9*1.6E-9*9E-9)/1.15^2=1.24*10^-25N
Fy=(2.1E-9*1.6E-9*9E-9)/0.55^2=2.29*10^-26N
This is wrong but i can't see why??
