How are convection currents important in the Earth System?

<span>Without convection, the equator would stay smoldering hot, the poles would stay well in the deep freeze, and places in between would be in between. The currents move the warm air and warm water from the tropics up to the poles and move cold air and water from the poles down to the tropics. Until now, the coasts have enjoyed milder weather because of the convection currents. -Hope this helps!</span>

Two small spheres with mass 10 gm and charge q, are suspended from a point by threads of length L=0.22m. What is the charge on e

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

$q=1.95*10^{-7}C$

Explanation:

According to the free-body diagram of the system, we have:

$\sum F_y: Tcos(15^\circ)-mg=0(1)\\\sum F_x: Tsin(15^\circ)-F_e=0(2)$

So, we can solve for T from (1):

$T=\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)}(3)$

Replacing (3) in (2):

$(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=F_e$

The electric force ( $F_e$ ) is given by the Coulomb's law. Recall that the charge q is the same in both spheres:

$(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}(4)$

According to pythagoras theorem, the distance of separation (r) of the spheres are given by:

$sin(15^\circ)=\frac{\frac{r}{2}}{L}\\r=2Lsin(15^\circ)(5)$

Finally, we replace (5) in (4) and solving for q:

$mgtan(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{mgtan(15^\circ)(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}{k}}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{10*10^{-3}kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})tan(15^\circ)(2(0.22m)sin(15^\circ))^2}{8.98*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}}\\q=1.95*10^{-7}C$
