Answer:
Fnet = F√2
Fnet = kq²/r² √2
Explanation:
A exerts a force F on B, and C exerts an equal force F on B perpendicular to that. The net force can be found with Pythagorean theorem:
Fnet = √(F² + F²)
Fnet = F√2
The force between two charges particles is:
F = k q₁ q₂ / r²
where
k is Coulomb's constant, q₁ and q₂ are the charges, and r is the distance between the charges.
If we say the charge of each particle is q, then:
F = kq²/r²
Substituting:
Fnet = kq²/r² √2
Answer:
M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
Explanation:
Using the cross product method, the moment vector(M₀) of a force (F) is about a given point is equal to cross product of the vector A from the point (r) to anywhere on the line of action of the force itself. i.e
M₀ = r x F
From the question,
r = i + j + k
F = 1i + 0j + 5k
Therefore,
M₀ = (i + j + k) x (1i + 0j + 5k)
M₀ =
M₀ = i(5 - 0) -j(5 - 1) + k(0 - 1)
M₀ = i(5) - j(4) + k(-1)
M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
Therefore, the moment about the origin O of the force F is
M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
