Total force must be zero.

will u explain?
Ofcourse
The charges placed on the vertices of an equilateral triangle will be equidistant from the centroid.
therefore all the charges will exert a force ok KQq÷r^2 but in opposite direction.
hence the forces will cancel each other effectiveness and the resultant force on the object will be zero.
Hope it helps!
