AI Thread Summary

To find the electric field 2.5m from the center of a region with a charge density of ro=5.5E-15 R**(2.3), the bulk charge within the sphere can be calculated using the formula Q=(4/3)*Pi*(R^3)*ro. The discussion indicates that the answer in the back of the book is approximately 0.00241. Participants express difficulty in locating relevant information in their textbooks to solve the problem. The approach involves treating the bulk charge as equivalent to a point charge at the center of the sphere. This method is essential for determining the electric field in the specified region.

find the electric field 2.5m from the center of region of space with a charge density given by ro=5.5E-15 R**(2.3)

i flip all over the book, i still can't find anything to solve this question, can anyone help?
the ans from the back of the book is .00241

AFAIR, it might be supposed that bulk charge within sphere is equal to the point charge
Q=(4/3)*Pi*(R^3)*ro placed into the center of sphere.

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

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}...
