Answer: 3 m.
Explanation:
Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by gravity acting on both children must be 0.
As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.
If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):
mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0
60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0
Solving for d:
d = 3 m.
Answer:
1.77 x 10^-8 C
Explanation:
Let the surface charge density of each of the plate is σ.
A = 4 x 4 = 16 cm^2 = 16 x 10^-4 m^2
d = 2 mm
E = 2.5 x 10^6 N/C
ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2
Electric filed between the plates (two oppositively charged)
E = σ / ε0
σ = ε0 x E
σ = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 2.5 x 10^6 = 22.125 x 10^-6 C/m^2
The surface charge density of each plate is ± σ / 2
So, the surface charge density on each = ± 22.125 x 10^-6 / 2
= ± 11.0625 x 10^-6 C/m^2
Charge on each plate = Surface charge density on each plate x area of each plate
Charge on each plate = ± 11.0625 x 10^-6 x 16 x 10^-4 = ± 1.77 x 10^-8 C
