Complete question is;

Kamal said the distance from the top of the balloon to the ground in the Example image attached is √353 ft. What mistake might Kamal have made?

Answer:

the mistake Kamal made is that she probably used 17 ft as the perpendicular side of the triangle with b as the hypotenuse instead of using 17ft as the hypotenuse

Explanation:

From the image attached, we can see that the distance from the top of the balloon which is blue in color to the ground is denoted by "b".

Now the triangle is a right angle triangle with hypotenuse = 15ft + 2ft = 17 ft; the adjacent side = 8 ft, while the opposite side is "b".

Thus, we can use pythagoras theorem to solve this as;

b = √(17² - 8²)

b = √(289 - 64)

b = √225

b = 15ft

However,we are told Kamal got b as √353 ft.

From inspection of the calculations we just did, if we had used addition instead of subtraction, we would have gotten b = √353 ft.

Thus, we can under that the mistake Kamal made is that she probably used 17 ft as the perpendicular side of the triangle with b as the hypotenuse instead of using 17ft as the hypotenuse.

An infinite line of charge with linear density λ1 = 8.2 μC/m is positioned along the axis of a thick insulating shell of inner r
bixtya [17]

1) Linear charge density of the shell:  -2.6\mu C/m

2)  x-component of the electric field at r = 8.7 cm: 1.16\cdot 10^6 N/C outward

3)  y-component of the electric field at r =8.7 cm: 0

4)  x-component of the electric field at r = 1.15 cm: 1.28\cdot 10^7 N/C outward

5) y-component of the electric field at r = 1.15 cm: 0

Explanation:

1)

The linear charge density of the cylindrical insulating shell can be found  by using

\lambda_2 = \rho A

where

\rho = -567\mu C/m^3 is charge volumetric density

A is the area of the cylindrical shell, which can be written as

A=\pi(b^2-a^2)

where

b=4.7 cm=0.047 m is the outer radius

a=2.7 cm=0.027 m is the inner radius

Therefore, we have :

\lambda_2=\rho \pi (b^2-a^2)=(-567)\pi(0.047^2-0.027^2)=-2.6\mu C/m

 

2)

Here we want to find the x-component of the electric field at a point at a distance of 8.7 cm from the central axis.

The electric field outside the shell is the superposition of the fields produced by the line of charge and the field produced by the shell:

E=E_1+E_2

where:

E_1=\frac{\lambda_1}{2\pi r \epsilon_0}

where

\lambda_1=8.2\mu C/m = 8.2\cdot 10^{-6} C/m is the linear charge density of the wire

r = 8.7 cm = 0.087 m is the distance from the axis

And this field points radially outward, since the charge is positive .

And

E_2=\frac{\lambda_2}{2\pi r \epsilon_0}

where

\lambda_2=-2.6\mu C/m = -2.6\cdot 10^{-6} C/m

And this field points radially inward, because the charge is negative.

Therefore, the net field is

E=\frac{\lambda_1}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}+\frac{\lambda_2}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}=\frac{1}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2)=\frac{1}{2\pi (8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.087)}(8.2\cdot 10^{-6}-2.6\cdot 10^{-6})=1.16\cdot 10^6 N/C

in the outward direction.

3)

To find the net electric field along the y-direction, we have to sum the y-component of the electric field of the wire and of the shell.

However, we notice that since the wire is infinite, for the element of electric field dE_y produced by a certain amount of charge dq along the wire there exist always another piece of charge dq on the opposite side of the wire that produce an element of electric field -dE_y, equal and opposite to dE_y.

Therefore, this means that the net field produced by the wire along the y-direction is zero at any point.

We can apply the same argument to the cylindrical shell (which is also infinite), and therefore we find that also the field generated by the cylindrical shell has no component along the y-direction. Therefore,

E_y=0

4)

Here we want to find the x-component of the electric field at a point at

r = 1.15 cm

from the central axis.

We notice that in this case, the cylindrical shell does not contribute to the electric field at r = 1.15 cm, because the inner radius of the shell is at 2.7 cm from the axis.

Therefore, the electric field at r = 1.15 cm is only given by the electric field produced by the infinite wire:

E=\frac{\lambda_1}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}

where:

\lambda_1=8.2\mu C/m = 8.2\cdot 10^{-6} C/m is the linear charge density of the wire

r = 1.15 cm = 0.0115 m is the distance from the axis

This field points radially outward, since the charge is positive . Therefore,

E=\frac{8.2\cdot 10^{-6}}{2\pi (8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.0115)}=1.28\cdot 10^7 N/C

5)

For this last part we can use the same argument used in part 4): since the wire is infinite, for the element of electric field dE_y produced by a certain amount of charge dq along the wire there exist always another piece of charge dq on the opposite side of the wire that produce an element of electric field -dE_y, equal and opposite to dE_y.

Therefore, the y-component of the electric field is zero.
