Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 33.6 cm. when one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a
1 answer:
Missing question: "What is the spring's constant?"
Solution:
The object of mass m=6.89 kg exerts a force on the spring equal to its weight:
When the object is attached to the spring, the displacement of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position is
And by using Hook's law, we can find the constant of the spring:

Answer:
The third charged particle must be placed at x = 0.458 m = 45.8 cm
Explanation:
To solve this problem we apply Coulomb's law:
Two point charges (q₁, q₂) separated by a distance (d) exert a mutual force (F) whose magnitude is determined by the following formula:
Formula (1)
F: Electric force in Newtons (N)
K : Coulomb constant in N*m²/C²
q₁, q₂: Charges in Coulombs (C)
d: distance between the charges in meters (m)
Equivalence
1μC= 10⁻⁶C
1m = 100 cm
Data
K = 8.99 * 10⁹ N*m²/C²
q₁ = +5.00 μC = +5.00 * 10⁻⁶ C
q₂= +7.00 μC = +7.00 * 10⁻⁶ C
d₁ = x (m)
d₂ = 1-x (m)
Problem development
Look at the attached graphic.
We assume a positive charge q₃ so F₁₃ and F₂₃ are repulsive forces and must be equal so that the net force is zero:
We use formula (1) to calculate the forces F₁₃ and F₂₃
F₁₃ = F₂₃
We eliminate k and q₃ on both sides
We eliminate 10⁻⁶ on both sides
We solve the quadratic equation:
In the option x₂, F₁₃ and F₂₃ will go in the same direction and will not be canceled, therefore we take x₁ as the correct option since at that point the forces are in opposite way .
x = 0.458m = 45.8cm
