Answer:

\displaystyle |F_t|=10.9\ \frac{KQ^2}{l^2}

\displaystyle \theta =68^o

Explanation:

Electrostatic Force

It's the force that appears between two electrical charges q1 q2 when they are placed at a certain distance d. The force can be computed by using the Coulomb's law:

\displaystyle F=\frac{KQ_1Q_2}{d^2}

We have an arrangement of 4 charges as shown in the image below. We need to calculate the total force exerted on the charge 2Q by the other 3 charges. The free body diagram is also shown in the second image provided. The total force on 2Q is the vectorial sum of F1, F2, and F3. All the forces are repulsive, since all the charges have the same sign. Let's compute each force as follows:

\displaystyle |F_1|=\frac{KQ(2Q)}{l^2}=\frac{2KQ^2}{l^2}

\displaystyle |F_2|=\frac{K(2Q)(4Q)}{l^2}=\frac{8KQ^2}{l^2}

The distance between 3Q and 2Q is the diagonal of the rectagle of length l:

\displaystyle |d_3|=\sqrt{l^2+l^2}=\sqrt{2}\ l

The force F3 is

\displaystyle |F_3|=\frac{K(3Q)(2Q)}{(\sqrt{2l)}^2}=\frac{3KQ^2}{l^2}

Each force must be expressed as vectors. F1 is pointed to the right direction, thus its vertical components is zero

\displaystyle \vec{F_1}=\left \langle |F_1|,0 \right \rangle=\left \langle \frac{2KQ^2}{l^2},0 \right \rangle

F2 is pointed upwards and its horizontal component is zero

\displaystyle \vec{F_2}=\left \langle 0,\frac{8KQ^2}{l^2} \right \rangle

F3 has two components because it forms an angle of 45° respect to the horizontal, thus

\displaystyle \vec{F_3}=\left \langle \frac{3KQ^2}{l^2}\ cos45^o,\frac{3KQ2}{l^2} sin45^o\right \rangle

\displaystyle \vec{F_3}=\left \langle \frac{3\sqrt{2}KQ^2}{2l^2},\frac{3\sqrt{2}KQ^2}{2l^2}\right \rangle

Now we compute the total force

\displaystyle \vec{F_t}=\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}+\vec{F_3}

\displaystyle \vec{F_t}=\left \langle \frac{2KQ^2}{l^2},0 \right \rangle +\left \langle 0,\frac{8KQ^2}{l^2} \right \rangle + \left \langle \frac{3\sqrt{2}KQ^2}{2l^2},\frac{3\sqrt{2}KQ^2}{2l^2}\right \rangle

\displaystyle \vec{F_t}=\left \langle \left(2+\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)\frac{KQ^2}{l^2},\left(8+\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) \frac{KQ^2}{l^2}\right \rangle

\displaystyle F_t=\left \langle 4.121,10.121 \right \rangle \frac{KQ^2}{l^2}

Now we compute the magnitude

\boxed{\displaystyle |F_t|=10.9\ \frac{KQ^2}{l^2}}

The direction of the total force is given by

\displaystyle tan\theta =\frac{10.121}{4.121}=2.4558

\boxed{\displaystyle \theta =68^o}

Southern state and local elections in 1876 differed from those in previous years in that
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Southern state and local elections in 1876 differed from those in previous years in that the election of 1876 was one of the closest races in American history. It tested the Constitution and resulted in a compromise that ended Reconstruction in America.

The election of 1876 between Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel Tilden of New York was one of the most hostile, controversial campaigns in American history. The vote was 8-7 along party lines to award the disputed electoral college votes to Hayes, making him the winner.

Explanation:

The Compromise of 1876 is known for being the catalyst for the end of Reconstruction era, it was one of the most contentious and controversial presidential elections in American history.

Republican nominee Rutherford B. Hayes faced Democrat Samuel J. Tilden. After a controversial post-election process, He lost the popular vote to Democrat Samuel J. Tilden but he won an intensely disputed electoral college vote after a Congressional commission awarded him twenty contested electoral votes Hayes was declared the winner. The Hayes-Tilden Compromise is often seen as the final point that brought an end to Reconstruction, as it led to the removal of the US army from the South.

As Florida's Supreme Court had earlier declared a Democratic victory in the 1876 gubernatorial election, Democrats had been restored to power all across the South. The Compromise of 1876 effectively ended the Reconstruction era.

Southern Democrats' promised to protect civil and political rights of blacks as they were not kept, and to end of federal interference in southern affairs. This led to widespread disenfranchisement of blacks voters. Other factors that contributed to the end of Reconstruction were the Panic of 1873 and political corruption in the United States.

The Compromise of 1877 (the Great Betrayal) was an informal, unwritten deal, that settled the intensely disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election. It resulted in the United States federal government pulling the last troops out of the South, and formally ended the Reconstruction Era.

To determine the types of equipment your boat must carry, you need to make a measurement of the boat. What is this measurement?
jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation:

In total, the length is measured from the tip of the bow in a linear fashion to the stern of the formation of delight including any back-deck extensions. The measurement involves bow sprits; rudders; detachable engines and engine sections; handles; and various fittings and connections.

Importance in calculating a boat's length:

it affects the transportation costs (the longer the length, the higher the cost).   The pontoon's length counts as you find out how much rope you need to wrestle.  

The cost of vessel settlement on marinas depends in part on the pontoon length. As more area is consumed by a more drawn pontoon, the docking charges are higher.  

Transportation guidelines will probably not allow pontoons past a specific length on specific occasions of the day.
