Three point charges are arranged in a triangle as shown in the figure. • Point charge Q1 has a charge of 5.36 nC. • Point charge Q2 has a charge of 6.52 nC. • Point charge Q3 has a charge of 1.85 nC. • Point charges Qi and Q2 are separated by a distance D12 of 0.146 m. • Point charges Q2 and Q3 are separated by a distance D23 of 0.525 m. • Point charges Q1 and Q3 are separated by a distance D13 of 0.578 m. What is the electrostatic potential energy Utot of this configuration of charges? Assume that zero potential energy corresponds to all the charges being infinitely far apart. Utot =
