Answer:
This air being forced out causing the air pressure inside to be much lower than that on the outside. As higher air pressure always pushes, it keeps the two plungers together.

Answer:
F' = (4/9)F
Explanation:
The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's Law:
F = kq₁q₂/r² -------------------- equation (1)
where,
F = Electrostatic Force
k = Coulomb's Constant
q₁ = magnitude of first charge
q₂ = magnitude of second charge
r = distance between charges
Now, when the charges and distance altered as follows:
q₁' = 2q₁
q₂' = 2q₂
r' = 3r
Then,
F' = kq₁'q₂'/r'²
F' = k(2q₁)(2q₂)/(3r)²
F' = (4/9)kq₁q₂/r²
using equation (1):
<u>F' = (4/9)F</u>
