Charge Negative Positive Unit

AI Thread Summary

To achieve equilibrium among two unit negative charges and a positive charge +q, the magnitude of +q must be less than 2 units, specifically between 0 and 2 units. The positive charge should be positioned closer to the negative charges to balance the forces acting on it. The neutral point, where the net force is zero, will not be at the extreme left but rather between the negative charges and the positive charge. The exact location depends on the specific values of the charges and their distances. Understanding the balance of electrostatic forces is crucial for determining the equilibrium position.

2 unit negative chargees and a positive charge +q are along the same line. what should be the magnitude of charge q and in which position must it be placed so that the three charges remain in equilibrium...

where do you think will be the neutral point... will it be along extreme left?? kinda confused!

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
