What is the charge on 1kg of protons?

Click For Summary
The charge of a single proton is approximately +1.602 x 10^-19 coulombs. To find the total charge of 1 kg of protons, one must first calculate the number of protons in 1 kg, which is about 6.24 x 10^24 protons. Multiplying the number of protons by the charge of a single proton results in a total charge of approximately +1.0 x 10^6 coulombs for 1 kg of protons. The discussion highlights the initial confusion and the eventual realization of the straightforward calculation involved. Understanding the fundamental properties of protons is crucial for such inquiries.

This one stumps me cuase not a lot of info.

what is the charge on 1kg of protons?

Thats it, i swear! no more info to give you guys so we can try to solve. Do you know how to help me, please?

Thanks!
Dx :wink:

What is the charge of a single proton, and how many of them in 1 kg?
 
Thnx Alex!

This was a dumb qur=estion to ask since it was in front of my nose. I wasn't thinking straight that day, too many hours of studying and too many pages of reading.

THANKS ALEX!

Dx :wink:
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
