    Electrostatics question, involving mass?

    1/(9.11x10^-28) = 1.1x10^27 electrons per gram. if one electron is 1.6x10^-19c (1.1x10^27)(1.6x10^-19) = 1.76x10^8 is one charge of a gram of electrons Plugging it in... (9x10^9)x(1.76x10^8)^2 ------------------------- (1000m)^2 answer = 1.584x10^12 CORRECTED...

    Electrostatics question, involving mass?

    Homework Statement One electron has a mass of 9.11x10^-31 KG. Find the force 1.0 gram of electrons would exert on another 1.0g of electrons from 1.0 kilometer away F = ? Melectron = 9.11x10^-31 kg --> (0.01kg of electron = 9.11x10^-33 kg) Electron Coloumb = 1.6x10^-19 C (ignoring the negative...

    What are the cord tension and force on the hinge for this angled beam?

    So instead of "Mg" just being "Mg". It is "Mgsin(30)"? Is that what you are trying to say? If I change that in my equation it works out? If that is the case, waste no time to say... Would the horizontal axis on Mg also require a MgCos(30) to workout the force from the hinge in components?

    Static Equillibrium. [T=0, [F=0? Problem finding force using component

    I emailed my teacher it is correct, rounded to 2 sig figs. Thanks for helping out! I'm on to beams at angles now so if I need any more help I shall ask on here :) Just wondering, this is a physics forum with some advanced applications all over mathematics. Would physics 12 fit in this...

    Static Equillibrium. [T=0, [F=0? Problem finding force using component

    I understand that there is a Y component but I stopped after I saw FHx = 1622N From my understanding... The answer should be 1637N (I had a friend who is into math, calculus and taking engineering in university see if I made an error after posting this?) He got the same 1637N as me [Fy=0...

    Static Equillibrium. [T=0, [F=0? Problem finding force using component

    Taking a physics 12 class in night school and he only gave us an example of a Beam and Wire question where the Wire was holding a Beam against a wall. The wire was at the end of the beam and holding a sign. Using the methods taught, I have been able to understand the Torque = 0, but Forces get...
