A 6.4 x 10^5 kg sphere carries a total charge of 9.3 x 10^-8 C. The sphere hangs from string between two large parallel conducting plates. The excess charge on each plate is equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign.

A 0.01294 kg ball with a positive charge of 47.4 μC hangs from a light string right next to a large vertical metal plate (the metal plate is so large compared to the length of the string and ball consider it to be infinite in size). How much surface charge density must the plate have to repel the ball so that the string makes and angle of 5.03 degrees from the vertical. Give your answer to 3 significant figures and in units of nC/m/m (nanoCoulombs per meter squared: Blackboard has trouble with squred units). Type in the units right after your numerical answer.
Two red blood cells each have a mass of 9.05 × 10-14 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. The repulsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. One cell carries -3.00 pC and the other -2.60 pC, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 3.75 × 10-º m in radius. If the red blood cells start very far apart and move directly toward each other with the same speed, what initial speed would each need so that they get close enough to just barely touch? Assume that there is no viscous drag from any of the surrounding liquid. initial speed: m/s What is the maximum acceleration of the cells as they move toward each other and just barely touch? maximum acceleration: m/s?
