Neglecting the weight of the bar of length L, pivoted at its
center and balanced with a block of weight W at a distance x from
the left side, at the beginning and at the end of the bar are two
charged spheres q and 2q respectively.
At a distance h directly below the spheres are other charged
spheres Q.
Find the distance x when the bar is balanced in the position
shown.
What value must h have so that...
Please show all the steps in the solution, thank you.
1. Physics is used in many magic tricks. The diagram below shows a balancing rod that has a charge of +q and +2q on the ends. Directly beneath these charges charges, each +Q attached to the floor provide an upward force rod's charges. The magician's assistant must also lay down on this apparatus (indicated by the mass "W" in the diagram) are two other a) Where should this mass of...
A massless rod of length l has weights, each of mass m, attached to its ends. The rod is initially put in a horizontal position, and laid on an off-center fulcrum located at a distance b from the rod’s center. The rod will topple. a) Calculate the total gravitational torque on the rod directly, by adding the two torques. b) Verify that this gives the same result as would have been obtained by taking the entire gravitational force as acting...
In the figure a nonconducting rod of length L = 8.17 cm has charge -q = -4.35 fC uniformly distributed along its length. (a) What is the linear charge density of the rod? What are the (b) magnitude and (c) direction (positive angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis) of the electric field produced at point P, at distance a = 14.4 cm from the rod? What is the electric field magnitude produced at distance a =...

(Figure 1)The figure shows a simple model of a seesaw These consist of a plank/rod of mass mr and length 2x allowed to pivot freely about its center (or central axis), as shown in the diagram. A small sphere of mass m1 is attached to the left end of the rod, and a small sphere of mass m2 is attached to the right end. The spheres are small enough that they can be considered point particles. The gravitational force acts...
Pivoted Rod with Unequal Masses (Figure 1) A thin rod of mass mr and length 2L is allowed to pivot freely about its center, as shown in the diagram. A small sphere of mass m1 is attached to the left end of the rod, and a small sphere of mass m2 is attached to the right end. The spheres are small enough that they can be considered point particles. The gravitational force acts downward, with the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration...
A massless rod with length L is
attached to two springs at its two masses (both m) at its two ends.
The masses are connected to springs. The springs can move in the
horizontal and vertical directions as shown in the figure and they
both have a stiffness k. Note that gravity acts. Assume the springs
are un-stretched when the rod is vertical. Find the equation of
motion for the system using 1. Newton’s second law 2. Conservation
of energy....
