Did you ever end up getting an answer? Or like did you find out which segment it was?
We will convert the 1dm3 in terms of cm3 as follows:
1dm^3 = (10 cm)^3
= 1000 cm^3
The mass of platinum is equal to 900 lb.
Then we will convert the mass in terms of grams as follows:
1 lb = 453.6 g
900 = 900 x 453.6 g
= 408240 g
Then density of platinum is equal to 21.4 g/cm^3
We will calculate the volume of platinum in mass 408240 g as follows:
Volume of platinum = mass of platinum / density of platinum
= 408240 g / 21.4 g/cm^3
= 19076.6 cm^3
The total volume of platinum is 19076.6 cm^3
The volume of platinum in 1 L bar is 1000cm^3
So, to calculate the number of bars we will use the formula as follows;
Number of bars = volume of platinum available / volume of platinum required in 1 L bar
= 19076.6 cm^3 / 1000 cm^3
= 19
So, the number of bars are 19.

Answer:

Explanation:
The force on the point charge q exerted by the rod can be found by Coulomb's Law.

Unfortunately, Coulomb's Law is valid for points charges only, and the rod is not a point charge.
In this case, we have to choose an infinitesimal portion on the rod, which is basically a point, and calculate the force exerted by this point, then integrate this small force (dF) over the entire rod.
We will choose an infinitesimal portion from a distance 'x' from the origin, and the length of this portion will be denoted as 'dx'. The charge of this small portion will be 'dq'.
Applying Coulomb's Law:

The direction of the force on 'q' is to the right, since both charges are positive, and they repel each other.
Now, we have to write 'dq' in term of the known quantities.

Now, substitute this into 'dF':

Now we can integrate dF over the rod.
