From my professor: "if you consider a gaussian cylinder with r>c of length L, you will have some net charge within it that will produce an electric field. Since the cylindrical shell is neutral, the charge is that due to the inner cylinder within the gaussian cylinder of length L" I'm a bit confused

Homework Statement A neutral conducting cylindrical shell with inner radius b and outer radius c surrounds a charged insulated cylinder of radius a at its center whose volume charge density varies radially away from the center as ρ(r) = ρ0 (1− r / a) . A cross-sectional view is shown. (a)...

A=pi(r^2) Ahhh I see! lifesaver over here.

Homework Statement While unrealistic, we will examine the forces on a leg when one falls from a height by approximating the leg as a uniform cylinder of bone with a diameter of 2.3 cm and ignoring any shear forces. Human bone can be compressed with approximately 1.7 × 10^8 N/m2 before...

T here was a rounding error, the final answer is 220 m/s and 1000 m/s Thanks

Homework Statement Fission, the process that supplies energy in nuclear power plants, occurs when a heavy nucleus is split into two medium-sized nuclei. One such reaction occurs when a neutron colliding with a 235U (uranium) nucleus splits that nucleus into a 141Ba (barium) nucleus and a 92Kr...
