Answer:

d) 1/4 F

Explanation:

The magnitude of electrostatic force between stationary charges is described by Coulomb's law. This law states that this force is proportional to the magnitudes of the charges:

F\propto q_1q_2

When each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, we have:

q_1'=\frac{q_1}{2}\\q_2'=\frac{q_2}{2}

So, the new electrostatic force is:

F'\propto q_1'q_2'\\F'\propto \frac{q_1}{2}\frac{q_2}{2}\\F'\propto \frac{q_1q_2}{4}\\F'\propto\frac{1}{4}F

A 15 cm3 block of gold weighs 2.8 N. It is carefully submerged in a tank of mercury. One cm3 of mercury weighs 0.13 N.
BaLLatris [955]
The density of gold is  2.8 N / 15 = 0.18 units
The density of mercury is 0.13/1 = 0.13 units

Since the density of gold is more than density of mercury, it will sink.
Since the gold will sink, it will displace mercury, but less than its own volume
