Three point charges lie in a straight line along the y-axis. A charge of q1 = -10.00 µC is at y = 6.40 m, and a charge of q2 = -

7.70 µC is at y = -3.60 m. The net electric force on the third point charge is zero. Where is this charge located?

Answer:

y coordinate where field is zero is  1.1 m

Explanation:

given data

charge q1 = -10.00 µC

y = 6.40 m,

charge q2 = -7.70 µC

y = -3.60 m

solution

we know that here Electric field E that is express as

Electric field E = \frac{kQ}{r^2}   ..............................1

and

Distance between charges will be

Distance between charges = 6.40 -  (-3.60) = 10 m

so here neutral point P is at  distance d from q1

so it is  distance (10 - d) from q2.  

so here

Field from q1 at P = \frac{k(-10 \times 10^{-6})}{d^2}

and

Field from q2 at P = \frac{k(-7.70 \times 10^{-6})}{(10-d)^2}

so here field is  in opposite directions and the resultant field = 0

so

\frac{k(-10 \times 10^{-6})}{d^2} = \frac{k(-7.70 \times 10^{-6})}{(10-d)^2}  

\frac{10}{d^2} = \frac{7.70}{(10-d)^2}

d =  5.326242 m

so y coordinate where field is zero is 6.40 - 5.32 = 1.1 m

I attached a Diagram for this problem.

We star considering the system is in equlibrium, so

Fm makes 90-(\theta+5) with vertical

Fm makes 70 with vertical

Applying summatory in X we have,

\sum F_x = 0

W+1.4-Fm cos(70)

We know that W is equal to

W= 0.06*100N = 6N

Substituting,

Fm cos (70) = W+1.4N

Fm cos (70) = 6N + 1.4N

Fm = \frac{7.4}{cos(70)}

Fm = 21.636N

<em>For the second part we know that the reaction force Fj on deltoid Muscle is equal to Fm, We can assume also that</em> \beta  = \theta

A surgical microscope weighing 200 lb is hung from a ceiling by four springs with stiffness 25 lb/ft. The ceiling has a vibratio
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is   = 5.676*10^{-3} \ mm

Explanation:

The motion of the ceiling is y = Y sinωt

y = 0.05 sin (2 π × 2) t

y = 0.05 sin 4 π t

K = 25 lb/ft  × 4  sorings

K = 100 lb/ft

Amplitude of the microscope  \frac{X}{Y}= [\frac{1+2 \epsilon (\omega/ W_n)^2}{(1-(\frac{\omega}{W_n})^2)^2+(2 \epsilon  \frac{\omega}{W_n})^2}]

where;

\epsilon = 0

W_n = \sqrt { \frac{k}{m}}

= \sqrt { \frac{100*32.2}{200}}

= 4.0124

replacing them into the above equation and making X the subject of the formula:

X = Y * \frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-(\frac{\omega}{W_n})^2)^2})}}

X = 0.05 * \frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-(\frac{4 \pi}{4.0124})^2)^2})}}

X = 5.676*10^{-3} \ mm

Therefore; If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is   = 5.676*10^{-3} \ mm

Calculate the recoil speed of a 1.4 kg rifle shooting 0.006 kg bullets with muzzle speed of 800 m/a.3.43 m/s
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

a) 3.43 m/s

Explanation:

Due to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of the bullet - rifle system must be conserved.

The total momentum before the bullet is shot is zero, because they are both at rest, so:

p_i = 0

Instead the total momentum of the system after the shot is:

p_f = mv+MV

where:

m = 0.006 kg is the mass of the bullet

M = 1.4 kg is the mass of the rifle

v = 800 m/s is the velocity of the bullet

V is the recoil velocity of the rifle

The total momentum is conserved, therefore we can write:

p_i = p_f

Which means:

0=mv+MV

Solving for V, we can find the recoil velocity of the rifle:

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.006)(800)}{1.4}=-3.43 m/s

where the negative sign indicates that the velocity is opposite to direction of the bullet: so the recoil speed is

a) 3.43 m/s
