Answer:

F_T=6k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+10k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{j}=2k\frac{Q^2}{L}[3\hat{i}+5\hat{j}]

|F_T|=2\sqrt{34}k\frac{Q^2}{L}

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{5}{3})=59.03\°

Explanation:

I attached an image below with the scheme of the system:

The total force on the charge 2Q is the sum of the contribution of the forces between 2Q and the other charges:

F_T=F_Q+F_{3Q}+F_{4Q}\\\\F_T=k\frac{(Q)(2Q)}{R_1}\hat{i}+k\frac{(3Q)(2Q)}{R_2}\hat{j}+k\frac{(4Q)(2Q)}{R_3}[cos\theta \hat{i}+sin\theta \hat{j}]

the distances R1, R2 and R3, for a square arrangement is:

R1 = L

R2 = L

R3 = (√2)L

θ = 45°

F_T=k\frac{2Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+k\frac{6Q^2}{L}\hat{j}+k\frac{8Q^2}{\sqrt{2}L}[cos(45\°)\hat{i}+sin(45\°)\hat{j}]\\\\F_T=k\frac{2Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+k\frac{6Q^2}{L}\hat{j}+k\frac{8Q^2}{\sqrt{2}L}[\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\hat{i}+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\hat{j}]\\\\F_T=6k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+10k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{j}=2k\frac{Q^2}{L}[3\hat{i}+5\hat{j}]

and the magnitude is:

|F_T|=2k\frac{Q^2}{L}\sqrt{3^2+5^2}=2\sqrt{34}k\frac{Q^2}{L}

the direction is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{5}{3})=59.03\°

The MAC is 58 inches, The CG limits are from 26% to 43% MAC. If the CG is found to be
eimsori [14]

By working with percentages, we want to see how many inches is the center of gravity out of the limits. We will find that the CG is 1.45 inches out of limits.

<h3>What are the limits?</h3>

First, we need to find the limits.

We know that the MAC is 58 inches, and the limits are from 26% to 43% MAC.

So if 58 in is the 100%, the 26% and 43% of that are:

  • 26% → (26%/100%)*58in = 0.26*58 in = 15.08 in
  • 43% → (43%/100%)*58in = 0.43*58 in = 24.94 in.

But we know that the CG is found to be 45.5% MAC, then it measures:

(45.5%/100%)*58in = 0.455*58in = 26.39 in

We need to compare it with the largest limit, so we get:

26.39 in - 24.94 in = 1.45 in

This means that the CG is 1.45 inches out of limits.

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?
disa [49]
Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or <span>up-thrust.  Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object.  Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).</span>

What angle is formed by the sun, the earth, and the moon during an eclipse?.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The Sun-Earth-Moon system happens to exhibit a striking geometric coincidence, which we examine in the first problem. PROBLEM 1. To an observer on Earth, the Sun and the Moon subtend almost the same angle in the sky. The average angle is 0.52 degrees for the Moon and 0.53 degrees for the Sun.
