SOLVED I realized what I was doing wrong. The logarithmic is defining two intensities that are comparing values. The reason that the comparison was equal to the number of people was because that it was 20people to 1 person. In the case of the pigs the comparison is not equal to 69, rather it...

Homework Statement The noise level coming from a pig pen with 176 pigs is 73 dB. Assuming each of the remaining pigs squeal at their original level after 69 of their companions have been removed, what is the decibel level of the remaining pigs? Answer in units of dB. Homework Equations I=...

I realize where I went wrong. I was entering the 7.97 meters as a positive value. This value was positive because it was asking for distances in terms of their values between the charges. The problem asks for a coordinate point. This makes the answer negative. So the coordinate is x= -7.97cm...

I'm sorry for the confusion. I believe that the point that it is asking for is located in region I. As for what I've done so far, I have set the equation for each electric field upon each charge equal to each other. (E=Kcq/d^2). I set the distance from q1 to the point = to d and the distance...

Homework Statement Locate the x coordinate such that E=0? Coulomb constant is 8.98755x10^9 N m^2/C^2. The 1.68x10^-6 charge is at the origin and a -8.54x10^-6 charge is 10 cm to the right, as shown in the figure. http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k398/bdh1613/018.jpg Locate the x...
