Answer

$q = +2.7\times 10^{-8}~C$

Work Step by Step

The inward flux is negative and the outward flux is positive. We can find the net flux through the die: $\Phi = (-1000~N \cdot m^2/C)+(2000~N \cdot m^2/C)+(-3000~N \cdot m^2/C)+(4000~N \cdot m^2/C)+(-5000~N \cdot m^2/C)+(6000~N \cdot m^2/C)$ $\Phi = 3000~N \cdot m^2/C$ We can find the net charge inside the die: $q = \epsilon_0~\Phi$ $q = (8.854\times 10^{-12}~F/m)(3000~N \cdot m^2/C)$ $q = +2.7\times 10^{-8}~C$
