The gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Gravitational field strength is the measure of gravitational force acting on any object placed on the surface of the planet. Generally, the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.
So the gravitational field strength will be equal to the gravitational force acting on the object.
The formula for gravitational field strength is
Here g is the gravitational field strength, m is the mass of the object placed on the surface and F is the gravitational force acting on the object.
Since, the mass of any object placed on the surface of earth will be negligible compared to the mass of Earth, so the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.
Then the g = F
And
Here G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth and m is the mass of the object placed on the surface, while r is the radius of the Earth.
So, the gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.
Answer:
Magnitude of the resulting force on the 7 nC charge at the origin:
Fn₁= 23.95*10⁻⁹ N
Explanation:
Look at the attached graphic:
Charges of positive signs exert repulsive forces on q₁ + and charges of negative signs exert attractive forces on q₁ +.
q₁ experiences three forces (F₂₁,F₃₁,F₄₁) and we calculate them with Coulomb's law:
F = (k*q₁*q)/(d)²
m : distance from q₁ to q₂
(d₁₂)² = 18 m²
m : distance from q₁ to q₃
(d₁₃)² = 10 m²
m : distance from q₁ to q₄
(d₁₄)² = 13 m²
K= 8.98755 × 10⁹ N *m²/C²
q₁= 7*10⁻⁹C
k*q₁=8.98755*10⁹ *7*10⁻⁹= 62.9
F₂₁= (62.9)*(9* 10⁻⁹) /(18) = 31.45*10⁻⁹ C
F₃₁= (62.9)*(7* 10⁻⁹) /(10) = 44*10⁻⁹ C
F₄₁= (62.9)*(8* 10⁻⁹) /(13) = 38.7*10⁻⁹ C
x-y components of the net force on q₁ (Fn₁):
α= tan⁻¹(3/3)= 45° , β= tan⁻¹(3/1)= 71.56° , θ= tan⁻¹(2/3)= 33.69°
Fn₁x = F₂₁x+ F₃₁x+F₄₁x
F₂₁x =+ F₂₁*cosα =+ (31.45*10⁻⁹)* (cos 45°) = +22.24 *10⁻⁹ N
F₃₁x= -F₃₁*cosβ = - ( 44*10⁻⁹)* (cos 71.56°) = -13.91 *10⁻⁹ N
F₄₁x= -F₄₁*cosθ = -(38.7*10⁻⁹)* (cos 33.69°) = -32.2*10⁻⁹ N
Fn₁x = (+22.24 - 13.91 - 32.2)*10⁻⁹ N
Fn₁x = -23.87 *10⁻⁹ N
Fn₁y = F₂₁y+ F₃₁y+F₄₁y
F₂₁x =+ F₂₁*sinα =+ (31.45*10⁻⁹)* (sin 45°) = +22.24 *10⁻⁹ N
F₃₁x= -F₃₁*sinβ = - ( 44*10⁻⁹)* (sin 71.56°) = -41.74 *10⁻⁹ N
F₄₁x= +F₄₁*sinθ = +(38.7*10⁻⁹)* (sin 33.69°) =+21.47*10⁻⁹ N
Fn₁y = (22.24 -41.74+21.47)*10⁻⁹ N
Fn₁y = 1.97*10⁻⁹ N
Magnitude of the resulting force on the 7 nC charge at the origin (q₁):
Fn₁= 23.95*10⁻⁹ N
