Problem 13: A thin rod of length L = 1.3 m lies along the positive y-axis with one end at the origin. The rod carries a uniformly distributed charge of Q1 = 7.8 μC. A point charge Q2 = 17.2 μC is located on the positive x-axis a distance a = 1.1 m from the origin. Refer to the figure. Part (a) Consider a thin slice of the rod of thickness dy located a distance y away from the origin. What is the direction of the force on the point charge due to the charge on this thin slice? Part (b) Choose the correct equation for x-component of the force, dFx, on the point charge due to the thin slice of the rod.

Part (b) Choose the correct equation for x-component of the force, dFx, on the point charge due to the thin slice of the rod.
Part (c) Integrate the correct expression in part (b) over the length of the rod to find the x-component of the net force and calculate its value, in newtons.
Part (d) Choose the correct equation for the y-component of the force, dFy, on the point charge due to the thin slice of the rod.
Part (e) Integrate the correct expression in part (d) over the length of the rod to find the y-component of the net force and calculate its value, in newtons.
