I believe this is what you have to do:
The force between a mass M and a point mass m is represented by
So lets compare it to the original force before it doubles, it would just be the exact formula so lets call that F₁
So F₁ = G(Mm/r^2)
Now the distance has doubled so lets account for this in F₂:
F₂ = G(Mm/(2r)^2)
Now square the 2 that gives you four and we can pull that out in front to give
F₂ = G(Mm/r^2)
Now we can replace G(Mm/r^2) with F₁ as that is the value of the force before alterations
now we see that:
F₂ = F₁
So the second force will be 0.25 (1/4) x 1600 or 400 N.
The electric field at one corner of a square is 1614217 N/C.
Explanation:
The distance between x and y direction diagonals.
As per the given details the distance between diagonals is calculated as
0.5² + 0.5² = c² => c = 0.707 m
Charge to the right: In x direction
In order to find the electric charge towards x direction
we use e = kq/r² formula
As 'k' is coulomb's constant it's value is 9 x N m²/C²
e = (9 x )(250 x
) / (0.5)²
e = 9 x N/C
Charge diagonal:
e = kq/r²
e = [(9 x )(250 x
) / (0.707)²] cos 45
e = 225000√2 N/C
X direction sum = 1218198 N/C.
Similarly as shown in x direction the charge is same for y direction also
Charge below: For y direction
e = kq/r²
e = (9 x )(250 x
) / (0.5)²
e = 9 x N/C
Charge diagonal:
e = kq/r²
e = [(9 x )(250 x
) / (0.5)²] sin 45
e = 159099 N/C
Y direction sum = 1059099 N/C
Resultant electric field strength:
1218198 ² + 1059099² = e²
e = 1614217 N/C [45 degrees below the horizontal]
