Answer:
The charge on the third object is − 21.7nC
Explanation:
From Gauss's Law
Φ = Q/ε₀
where;
Φ is the total electric flux through the shell = − 533 N⋅m²/C
Q is the total charge Q in the shell = ?
ε₀ is the permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹²
From this equation; Φ = Q/ε₀
Q = Φ * ε₀ = − 533 * 8.85 x 10⁻¹²
Q = −4.7 X 10⁻⁹ C = -4.7nC
Q = q₁ + q₂ + q₃
− 4.7nC = − 14.0 nC + 31.0 nC + q₃
− 4.7nC − 17nC = q₃
− 21.7nC = q₃
Therefore, the charge on the third object is − 21.7nC
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. <span>The force exerted by the book on the table is equal to the force exerted by the table which is 4.0 N. The book does not move so it must be that the forces are balanced. Hope this answers the question.</span>
