Thank you. It turns out that the answer must be in centimeters, and not meters. I just inputted 26.6, instead of 0.266, and the system took that answer. I have no idea how my teacher thought that the students would now which to input, but then again I'm not sure if he made the problems.
Because I managed to solve the equation down to a polynomial, one of the second degree, I actually had multiple solutions as most polynomials tend to have. The answers I had, after solving the equation, are d = 0.266 and d = 1.121.
In this equation, Fe = Ke * (q1*q2)/(d^2) d must be an...
I apologize, I wrote all of this out in a word processor before attempting to post it and I did not notice that there is a template for giving problems. I hope you forgive me, my posts tend to be wordy and take awhile to write; attempting to write it in the text box would result in the server...
