let the distance of pillar is "r" from one end of the slab
So here net torque must be balance with respect to pillar to be in balanced state
So here we will have
here we know that
mg = 19600 N
Mg = 400,000 N
L = 20 m
from above equation we have
so pillar is at distance 10.098 m from one end of the slab
Answer:
A charge of -5.02 nC is uniformly distributed on a thin square sheet of nonconducting material of edge length 21.8 cm. "What is the surface charge density of the sheet"?
Explanation:
Surface charge density is a measure of how much electric charge is accumulated over a surface. It can be calculated as the charge per unit area.
We will convert all parameters in SI units.
Charge = Q = -5.02nC
Q = -5.02×C
As it is clear from question that Sheet is a square (All sides will be of equal length)
Area = A = (21.8×m) (21.8×
m) = 4.75×
m²
A = 4.75×m²
Surface charge density = Q/A
Surface charge density = (-5.02×C)/(4.75×
m²)
Surface charge density = -1.057× C
