The figure shows two situations in which a Gaussian cube sits in an electric field. The arrows and values indicate the directions and magnitudes (in $N-m^2/C$) of the electric flux through the faces of the cube. What is the net charge (in the two situations) inside the cube?

Careful measurement of the electric field at the surface of a black box indicates that the net outward flux through the surface of the box is $8.0 \times 10^{3} \; N m^{2} / C$.
