Four charges are on the four corners of a square. Q1 = +5μC, Q2 = -10μC, Q3 = +5μC, Q4 = -10μC. The side length of the square is

Answer:
Explanation:
Electric field due to a point charge Q at a point at distance d is given by the relation
E =
Since Q1 and Q2 are of the same magnitude and distance , so they will create eletric field of same magnitude. Similarly field due to rest of the charges will also be same.
The charges are situated on the corners of a square in such a way that
equal charges of Q1 and Q3 are situated on the diametrically opposite corners of the square. Fields due to these two charges will be equal and opposite in direction. Therefore net field due to these two charges will be zero.
On the same ground, we can say that field due to Q2 and Q4 at the centre will be equal and opposite and therefore they will cancel out each other. Net field at the centre will be zero
Overall, net field due to all the four charges will be zero

Answer:
a1 = 3.56 m/s²
Explanation:
We are given;
Mass of book on horizontal surface; m1 = 3 kg
Mass of hanging book; m2 = 4 kg
Diameter of pulley; D = 0.15 m
Radius of pulley; r = D/2 = 0.15/2 = 0.075 m
Change in displacement; Δx = Δy = 1 m
Time; t = 0.75
I've drawn a free body diagram to depict this question.
Since we want to find the tension of the cord on 3.00 kg book, it means we are looking for T1 as depicted in the FBD attached. T1 is calculated from taking moments about the x-axis to give;
ΣF_x = T1 = m1 × a1
a1 is acceleration and can be calculated from Newton's 2nd equation of motion.
s = ut + ½at²
our s is now Δx and a1 is a.
Thus;
Δx = ut + ½a1(t²)
u is initial velocity and equal to zero because the 3 kg book was at rest initially.
Thus, plugging in the relevant values;
1 = 0 + ½a1(0.75²)
Multiply through by 2;
2 = 0.75²a1
a1 = 2/0.75²
a1 = 3.56 m/s²
