Three charges $+Q, q, +Q$ are placed respectively at distances $0, \frac{d}{2},$ and $d$ from the origin on the $x$-axis. If the net force experienced by the charge $+Q$ placed at $x = 0$ is zero,then the value of $q$ is:

Three charges $+5 q, Q$ and $-2 q$ are kept along a straight line in the same order such that $+5 q$ and $-2 q$ charges are at a distance of $\frac{2 r}{3}$ and $\frac{r}{3}$ from the charge $Q$ respectively. If the net force on the charge $-2 q$ is zero,then $Q$ is
