Finding Electric Field at a Specific Point and on the Y-Axis

AI Thread Summary
The electric field E at the point (1,2,3) due to the charges Q1 and Q2 is calculated to be 68.92x - 32.319y + 85.936z. To determine where Ex equals zero on the y-axis, the discussion suggests y=32.319 as a potential solution. Further clarification is requested to show the calculations leading to these results for better understanding. The conversation emphasizes the importance of demonstrating the work involved in solving the problem.

Let a point charge Q1- 25 nc be located at (4,-2,7) and Q2= 60nc be at (-3,4,-2).
a)Find E at (1,2,3) b)at what point on the y-axis is Ex=0

For part a) i found the electric field to be 68.92x-32.319y+85.936z

b)would electric field on Ex be 0 at y=32.319??

Can you show the work you did to get those answers? It is easier to help if you do that.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
