The direction of the net force is up.

Net force on the charges

The net force on the charges can be determined using Coulomb's law as follows;

[tex]F_{AC} = + \frac{KQ^2}{r^2}[/tex]

[tex]F_{BC} = - \frac{KQ^2}{r^2}[/tex]

F(net) = F(AC) + F(BC)

F(net) = 0

The, direction of the net force on charge C will be parallel to charge C to achieve a zero net force. Thus, the direction of the net force is up.
