A charge of −2.69 μC is fixed at the center of a compass. Two additional charges are fixed on the circle of the compass (radius = 0.136 m). The charges on the circle are −5.36 μC at the position due north and +4.85 μC at the position due east. What is (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of the net electrostatic force acting on the charge at the center? Specify the direction as an angle relative to due east. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Figure (a) shows an arrangement of three charged particles. Particles A and C are fixed on the x axis, but particle B can be moved along a circle centered on particle A. During the movement, a radial line between A and B makes an angle θ relative to the positive direction of the x axis (see Figure (b)). The curves in Figure (c) below give, for two situations, the magnitude Fnet of the net electrostatic force on particle A due to the other particles. That net force is given as a function of angle θ and as a multiple of a basic amount F0. For example on curve 1, at θ = 180∘, we see that Fnet = 2F0. (a) For the situation corresponding to curve 1, what is the ratio of the charge of particle C to that of particle B (including sign)? (b) For the situation corresponding to curve 2, what is that ratio? Assume d1 = d2 = d = 7.9 m. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Multiple Concept Example 9 reviews the concepts that play a role in this problem. As an aid in working this problem, consult Concept Simulation 1.1. Two forces are applied to a tree stump to pull it out of the ground. Force F→ A has a magnitude of 1820 newtons (N) and points 38.0∘ south of east, while force F→ B has a magnitude of 2760 N and points due south. Using the component method, find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the resultant force F→A + F→ B that is applied to the stump. Specify the direction as a positive angle with respect to due east. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

You are in a hot-air balloon that, relative to the ground, has a velocity of 5.22 m/s in a direction due east. You see a hawk moving directly away from the balloon in a direction due north. The speed of the hawk relative to you is 1.11 m/s. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of the hawk's velocity relative to the ground? Express the directional angle relative to due east.
