Two hard rubber spheres, each of mass m = 15.0 g, are rubbed with fur on a dry day and are then suspended with two insulating strings of length L = 5.00 cm whose support points are a distance d = 3.00 cm from each other as shown in the figure. During the rubbing process, one sphere receives exactly twice the charge of the other. They are observed to hang at equilibrium, each at an angle of θ = 10.0∘ with the vertical. Find the amount of charge on each sphere.

(a) A physics lab instructor is working on a new demonstration. She attaches two identical iron spheres with mass m = 0.180 g to strings of length L as shown in the figure. Both spheres have the same charge of 6.80 nC, and are in static equilibrium when θ = 5.25∘. What is L (in m)? Assume the strings are massless. m (b) What If? The charge on both spheres is increased until each string makes an angle of θ = 10.5∘ with the vertical. If both spheres have the same electric charge, what is the charge (in nC) on each sphere in this case? nC

A uniform ladder of mass mL = 12.3 kg and length L = 3.80 m is leaned against a frictionless wall at an angle of θ = 23.4∘, as shown in Figure 2. A human, of mass mh = 83.8 kg, stands a distance d = 1.10 m up the ladder as shown. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground that will prevent the ladder from slipping?

13.F5 Two identical spheres A and B, each of mass m, are attached to an inextensible inelastic cord of length L and are resting at a distance a from each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. Sphere B is given a velocity v0 in a direction perpendicular to line AB and moves it without friction until it reaches B′ where the cord becomes taut. Draw the impulse-momentum diagram that can be used to determine the magnitude of the velocity of each sphere immediately after the cord has become taut.
