Answer:
5. Is greater than mg, always
Explanation:
If the cone has an inclination of angle β, the sum of forces will be:
x-axis (centripetal axis):
N*sin β = m*ax where ax is the centripetal acceleration
y-axis:
N*cos β - m*g = m*ay where ay is the vertical acceleration. If the block starts falling down, ay will be negative. If the block starts sliding up, ay will be positive. If the block does not move up nor down, ay=0.
Solving for N:
If ay is positive or zero, N will be greater than mg. If ay is negative, N will be less than mg.
If the block is sliding along a horizontal circular path (not up, nor down), ay = 0, so N will always be greater than mg.

(a) F = 0.00322i - 0.00793j with magnitude |F| = 0.00856N
(b) E = -42846.7 N/C
Explanation:
The diagram attached below explains some parameters.
Parameters given:
Charge Q1 = +50 nC at point (0, 0)
Charge Q2 = -50 nC at point (0.1, 0)
Charge Q3 = +150 nC at point (0.1, 0.08)
* The distances are in meters.
(a) The total electric force on the charge Q3 due to Q1 and Q2 is the vector sum of the forces due to Q1 and Q2. Mathematically,
F = F1 + F2
FORCE DUE TO Q1 i.e. F(Q1, Q3)
We have to find the x and y components.
From the diagram, we can find θ using SOHCAHTOA:
θ = tan⁻¹ (0.08/0.1)
θ = 38.66⁰
The distance between Q1 and Q3 can be found using Pythagoras theorem:
x² = 0.08² + 0.1²
x = 0.128 m
F1 = Fx(Q1, Q3)i + Fy(Q1, Q3)j
F1 = iF(Q1, Q3)cosθ + jF(Q1, Q3)sinθ
F(Q1, Q3) = (k * Q1 * Q3) / r²
k = Coulombs constant
F(Q1, Q3) = (9 * 10⁹ * 50 * 10⁻⁹ * 150 * 10⁻⁹) /(0.128)²
F(Q1, Q3) = 0.00412N
F1 = i0.00412 * cos38.66 + j0. 00412 * sin38.66
F1 = 0.00322i + 0.00257j N
FORCE DUE TO Q2 i.e. F(Q2, Q3)
We have to find the x and y components.
F2 = Fx(Q2, Q3)i + Fy(Q2, Q3)j
F2 = iF(Q2, Q3)cos90 + jF(Q2, Q3)cos0
F(Q2, Q3) = (k * Q2 * Q3) / r²
F(Q2, Q3) = (9 * 10⁹ * -50 * 10⁻⁹ * 150 * 10⁻⁹) /(0.08)²
F(Q2, Q3) = -0.0105N
F2 = -i0.0105 * cos90 - j0.0105 * cos0
F2 = - 0.0105j N
Hence, the total force will be
F = F1 + F2
F = 0.00322i + 0.00257j - 0.0105j
F = 0.00322i - 0.00793j N
The magnitude of this force is:
|F| = √(0.00322² + (-0.00793²)
|F| = 0.00856N
(b) The electric field at charge Q3 is the sum of the electric fields due to Q1 and Q2:
E = E1 + E2
E1, electric field due to Q1 = kQ1/r²
E1 = (9 * 10⁹ * 50 * 10⁻⁹) / (0.128²)
E1 = 27465.8 N/C
E2, electric field due to Q2 = (9 * 10⁹ * -50 * 10⁻⁹) / (0.08²)
E1 = -70312.5N/C
The total electric field:
E = E1 + E2
E = 27465.8 - 70312.5
E = -42846.7 N/C
