it should be at the center of the sphere i guess ? in that case the potential at any point on the sphere will be q/4πε_0d , as expected
edit: didn't see that article you posted. it helped a lot. thanks! The rest is piece of cake.
Yes, i know how to solve this problem using method of images if the sphere is grounded. The induced charge would be q_i=-qr/l. But in this case there is no charge induced,since the sphere is not grounded, the charges just move inside the sphere, but the net charge still remains zero.
Homework Statement
Find the attractive force between a neturally charged metal ball of radius r and a point charge q, located a distance l from the center of the ball. Also find the work needed to move the charge to infinity. The ball is not grounded.

Thank you for the wonderful idea.
So i have calculated each voltage drop
U_1=q_a/C=6U/11
U_2=q_a/2C=3U/11
U_3=q_a/3C=2U/11
now after the reversion, we should have
U-U_3+U_2-U_1=q_b C_a
and from here q_b=36CU/121
q_b is the additional charge you were talking about. Now for each of...

Thanks for your feedback.
Yes, the volume did in fact decrease. Maybe you're right , the pressure isn't constant, i can't find another explanation. But in that case there isn't enough data to solve this problem.
If i assume that all the water vapor dissociated, then why is the volume change...

An ice ball is melting in a water bath. Find the time needed for the ice ball to completely melt. Heat transfer is only due to heat conduction. The radius of the ball is R_0=1cm. The temperature of the water in the bath is t=10°. There is an infinite amount of water...
Okay so this is my solution
T is the tension force , and i'll assume g=10m/s^2
For the 1st pulley
2T_1=Mg+m_1 g+F_f
so T_1=50,75N
2nd pulley
2T_2=T_1+m_2 g +F_f
T_2=26,625N
3rd pulley
2T_3=T_2+m_3 g +F_f
T_3=15,0625N
and the 4th pulley it should like something like this i guess...
Yeah that makes sense . So it should be something like this. By the way,about the 4th pulley, since it is fixed (it doesn't move) , shouldn't i ignore it's mass ?

So
mg sin \alpha - F = ma
FR=mR^2\beta/2
a=\beta R
and from here a=2gsin\alpha /3
and i can find the translational velocity, but what about the angular velocity? it seems i will need the radius, which is not given
