    Reynolds Number and Power Number Problem

    Re=unitless D=meters n=Hz=s-1 \rho=kg/m3 \mu=m2/s Where do the kilograms cancel out in this equation? I was correct to convert cm to m and g to kg right?

    Reynolds Number and Power Number Problem

    Homework Statement If the Reynolds number is 4000, what is the Power (P) required in units of watts at a shaft speed (n) of 0.03 Hz? Assume the system contains acetone, with a kinematic viscosity of 0.419 stokes. The density of acetone is 0.785 grams per cubed centimeter. Us Curve B in the...

    Where would the electric field be strongest on a charged metal object?

    Homework Statement The picture for my question is attached. I labeled on the picture, which is a metal object, where I thought the distribution of charges on the surface would be if it has a net negative charge and the electric field lines near the surface. At what point on this object...

    Finding Electric Field for Three Point Charges

    Homework Statement The questions are based off of the diagram I attached. First, I had to find the strength of the electric field due to each charge at (0 cm, 8 cm). Now I need to find the total electric field (both magnitude and direction) at (0 cm, 8 cm) and the total electric potential...

    Electrostatic Force and Coulomb's Law

    So you set the magnitude of q1 on q2 equal to the magnitude of q3 on q2 and solve for the distance (d-.6)?

    Finding Magnitude of a Charge on Sphere

    I'm not sure if you took the time to actually solve it (I wouldn't blame you if you didn't) but for my final answer I got 6.88nC. If the book's answer is 7.2nC would it be safe to say this is accurate?

    Finding Magnitude of a Charge on Sphere

    Ok I've made sure that I account for both q's. In order to solve this, do I have to break the vectors into components and set them equal to each other?

    Finding Magnitude and Direction of Force on a Charge

    I did and that's how I got 2.7x10-9\hat{x} + 0\hat{y} Was my set up right and I went wrong somewhere in the math? I was always thinking I set it up wrong or wasn't using the right values.

    Coulomb's Law and Electrostatic Forces Problem

    The angle I got isn't even correct. According to the book it should be 77.5 degrees below the -x axis.
