Explanation:
The force of static friction is a force that acts an object on a surface, when this object is pushed by another force to put it in motion. The direction of the force of friction is opposite to the direction of the force of push, and its value increases as the force of push increases, up to a maximum value given by:
where
is the coefficient of friction
W is the weight of the object
Therefore, in order to put the object in motion, the force applied must be greater than this value.
For the pile of leaves in this problem, we have:
(coefficient of friction)
(weight of the leaves)
Substituting, we find:

Answer:
a) -1.325 μC
b) 4.17μC
Explanation:
First, you need to know that charge is conserved. So, the adition of the charges, as there is no lost in charge, should always be the same. Also, after the wire is removed, both spheres will have the same charge, trying to find equilibrium. In summary:
We know both q1f and q2f must be positive, because the negative charge at the beginning was the the smaller.
The electrostatic force is equal to:
K is the Coulomb constant, equal to 9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2
Now, we are told that the electrostatic force after the wire is equal to 0.0443 N:
Originally, the force is negative because it was an attraction force, therefore, its direction was opposite to the direction of the repulsive force after the wire:
Solving the quadratic equation:
for this values q_1 wil be:
So as you can see, the negative charge will always be -1.325 μC and the positive 4.17μC
