Question
A uniform electric field, E = 275 N/C, that points straight upward
passes through a rectangular ramp of width, w = 80 cm, that slopes
upward from the horizontal at an unknown angle, 8, as shown.
The top of the ramp is resting on a vertical sheet with the same
width as the ramp. The length of the ramp's base is d = 1.33 m.
(a) Write a symbolic expression for the electrix flux through
each surface in terms of w, d, and E (as needed).
