Question

l Help (14%) Problem 7: Two air-filled balloons each have a mass of m-3.8 g. Each balloon hangs from the same point by its own string of length L-0.49 m. Each balloon is rubbed to give it a static charge. Both balloons are rubbed the same amount, so each balloon has the same unknown charge (91-92). The hanging balloons push away until each makes and angle of /8" with respect to the vertical. 33% Part (a) Choose the best Full Body Diagram of the LEFT balloon A 33% Part (b) write an expression for the magnitude of the repulsive force required to keep the left balloon in this position.

Explanation / Answer

(b)

The net force along x axis

Fx = T sin thets - Fe = 0

T sin theta = Fe

Fy = T cos theta - mg = 0

T cos theta = mg

Fe/ mg = = T sin theta/ Tcos theta =

Fe = mg tan theta

(c)

sin theta = a/L

a= L sin theta

q= sqrt Fr^2/ k

= sqrt Fe ( 2a)^2/ k

= sqrt mg tan theta ( 2L sin theta)^2/ k

= sqrt (3.8 * 10^-3 ( 9.8) tan18 ( 2( 0.49 sin 18)^2/ 9 * 10^9

= 3.51 * 10^-7 C
