Two ranger stations are on an east-west line 110 mi apart. A forest fire is located on a bearing of N 42º E from the western sta
tion at A and a bearing of N 15ºE from the eastern station at B. How far is the fire from the western station to the nearest mile?

Answer:
The force will be 54.0 units
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's Law:
where
k is Coulomb's constant
q1, q2 are the magnitude of the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
From the equation, we see that the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the charge of object 2:
In this problem, the initial force between the two objects is
F = 18.0 N
And so, when the charge on object 2 is tripled,
The new electrostatic force will be
So, the force will also triple: since the original force was 18.0 units, the new force will be
