2) 
Explanation:
<h2><u>
Part 1:</u></h2>
<u></u>
The charged rod is held above the balloon and the weight of the balloon acts in downwards direction. To balance the weight of the balloon, the force on the balloon due to the rod must be directed along the upwards direction, which is only possible when the rod exerts an attractive force on the balloon and the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is attractive when the polarities of the charge on the two are different.
Thus, In order for this to occur, the polarity of charge on the rod must be positive, i.e., is <u>positive.</u>

Part 2:</u></h2>
<u></u>
<u>Given:</u>
- Mass of the balloon, m = 0.00275 kg.
- Charge on the balloon,
- Distance between the rod and the balloon, d = 0.0640 m.
- Acceleration due to gravity,
In order to balloon to be float in air, the weight of the balloom must be balanced with the electrostatic force on the balloon due to rod.
Weight of the balloon, 
The magnitude of the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is given by
is the Coulomb's constant.
For the elecric force and the weight to be balanced,
1. becuase it is so hot that it could tan or be used to keep warm.
The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position
Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion
Answer:
See the answers below.
Explanation:
to solve this problem we must make a free body diagram, with the forces acting on the metal rod.
i)
The center of gravity of the rod is concentrated in half the distance, that is, from the end of the bar to the center there is 40 [cm]. This can be seen in the attached free body diagram.
We have only two equilibrium equations, a summation of forces on the Y-axis equal to zero, and a summation of moments on any point equal to zero.
For the summation of forces we will take the forces upwards as positive and the negative forces downwards.
ΣF = 0
Now we perform a sum of moments equal to zero around the point of attachment of the string with the metal bar. Let's take as a positive the moment of the force that rotates the metal bar counterclockwise.
ii) In the free body diagram we can see that the force acts at 18 [cm] of the string.
ΣM = 0
![(15*9) - (18*W) = 0\\135 = 18*W\\W = 7.5 [N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2815%2A9%29%20-%20%2818%2AW%29%20%3D%200%5C%5C135%20%3D%2018%2AW%5C%5CW%20%3D%207.5%20%5BN%5D)
