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...

Homework Statement A square, with charges at each corner. The upper left (1) has a charge of +q. The upper right (2) has a charge of -2q. The bottom right (3) has a charge of +2q. The bottom left (4) has a charge of -q. The square has side length a. a = 5.20 cm and q = 11.8 nC Find...

Thanks, I was able to get the right answer, I appreciate the helpful tip. -B

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...
