(a) 392 N/m
Hook's law states that:
(1)
where
F is the force exerted on the spring
k is the spring constant
is the stretching/compression of the spring
In this problem:
- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:
- The stretching of the spring is
Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:
(b) 17.5 cm
If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is
And so, the stretch of the spring is
And since the initial lenght of the spring is
The final length will be
r₁ = distance of point A from charge q₁ = 0.13 m
r₂ = distance of point A from charge q₂ = 0.24 m
r₃ = distance of point A from charge q₃ = 0.13 m
Electric field by charge q₁ at A is given as
E₁ = k q₁ /r₁² = (9 x 10⁹) (2.30 x 10⁻¹²)/(0.13)² = 1.225 N/C towards right
Electric field by charge q₂ at A is given as
E₂ = k q₂ /r₂² = (9 x 10⁹) (4.50 x 10⁻¹²)/(0.24)² = 0.703 N/C towards left
Since the electric field in left direction is smaller, hence the electric field by the third charge must be in left direction
Electric field at A will be zero when
E₁ = E₂ + E₃
1.225 = 0.703 + E₃
E₃ = 0.522 N/C
Electric field by charge "q₃" is given as
E₃ = k q₃ /r₃²
0.522 = (9 x 10⁹) q₃/(0.13)²
q₃ = 0.980 x 10⁻¹² C = 0.980 pC
D. Mineral and fossil matches from tests done on different continents.
Answer:
2C
Explanation:
The equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination of capacitors is the sum of their capacitance.
So, if the capacitance of each capacitor is half the previous one, we have a geometric series with first term = C and rate = 0.5.
Using the formula for the sum of the infinite terms of a geometric series, we have:
Sum = First term / (1 - rate)
Sum = C / (1 - 0.5)
Sum = C / 0.5 = 2C
So the equivalent capacitance of this parallel connection is 2C.
