    Need some pointers on some puzzling questions

    Hey all, I'm taking a physics class dealing with harmonic motion and wave motion, and the last homework assignment of the quarter was given a bit late (i.e. after we began to cover extraneous lectures that are abstract and challenging), so I'm finding it hard to get back into the swing of...

    Solving Coulomb's Law: Using Mass, Length, and Charge

    Homework Statement Given: Two similar tiny balls of mass M are hung from silk threads of length L and carry equal charges q. An angle is formed where the two threads meet which we'll call \phi (This angle is actually divided in half and each half is called \theta) Assume that \theta is...
