Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

A point charge is placed between two charges

Q1 = 4 μC

Q2 = -1 μC

Distance between the two charges is 1m

We want to find the point when the electric field will be zero.

Electric field can be calculated using

E = kQ/r²

Let the point charge be at a distance x from the first charge Q1, then, it will be at 1 -x from the second charge.

Then, the magnitude of the electric at point x is zero.

E = kQ1 / r² + kQ2 / r²

0 = kQ1 / x²  - kQ2 / (1-x)²

kQ1 / x² = kQ2 / (1-x)²

Divide through by k

Q1 / x² = Q2 / (1-x)²

4μ / x² = 1μ / (1 - x)²

Divide through by μ

4 / x² = 1 / (1-x)²

Cross multiply

4(1-x)² = x²

4(1-2x+x²) = x²

4 - 8x + 4x² = x²

4x² - 8x + 4 - x² = 0

3x² - 8x + 4 = 0

Check attachment for solution of quadratic equation

We found that,

x = 2m or x = ⅔m

So, the electric field will be zero if placed ⅔m from point charge A, OR ⅓m from point charge B.

A 1 800-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.60 m before coming into contact
N76 [4]

Answer:

F = 614913.88 N

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of pile driver; m = 1800 kg

Height of fall of pole driver; h = 4.6 m

Depth driven into beam; d = 13.6 cm = 0.136 m

Now, from energy equations and applying to this question, we can write that;

Workdone = Change in potential energy

Formula for workdone is; W = F × d

While the average potential energy here is; W = mg(h + d)

Thus;

Fd = mg(h + d)

Where F is the average force exerted by the beam on the pile driver while in bringing it to rest.

Making F the subject, we have;

F = mg(h + d)/d

F = 1800 × 9.81 × (4.6 + 0.136)/0.136

F = 614913.88 N
