Force from an infinite sheet question...?

An infinite sheet is charged so that there are +10C/m over the entire sheet. What force does the sheet exert on a +2uC charge placed 3 meters away from the plate?

please explain/show work because i need to actually be able to DO this... i have a hazy idea about how to go about it using Coulombs law (F=K(q1)(q2)/r^2) but im not sure how to adapt it to an infinite sheet because of the +10C/m^2 messing the units up
