Three point charges $q_1, q_2, q_3$ are placed at the vertices of a triangle if force on $q_1$ and $q_2$ are $\left( {2\hat i - \hat j} \right)\,N$ and $\left( {\hat i + 3\hat j} \right)\,N$, respeactively, then what will be force on $q_3$ ?

Two identical positive charges $Q$ each are fixed at a distance of ' $2 a$ ' apart from each other. Another point charge qo with mass ' $m$ ' is placed at midpoint between two fixed charges. For a small displacement along the line joining the fixed charges, the charge $q_{0}$ executes $SHM$. The time period of oscillation of charge $q_{0}$ will be.
