Two objects with charges q and 4q are separated by 1.8 m a) Determine the position (distance from q) of a third charged object that causes all three objects to remain in equilibrium. Express your answer with the appropriate units. b) Determine the charge of a third charged object that causes all three objects to remain in equilibrium. Express your answer in terms of q c) Is the equilibrium stable or unstable? (Hint:An object is in a stable equilibrium if a small displacement of the object from the equilibrium results in a force exerted on the object that points opposite to the direction of displacement.) Choose one of the options. Option 1: The equilibrium is unstable for any displacement.Option 2:The equilibrium is stable for any displacement.Option 3:The equilibrium is stable for a displacement along the line joining the objects, but unstable for a displacement along the perpendicular direction.Option 4:The equilibrium is unstable for a displacement along the line joining the…

Consider the following sequence of events: 1. You rub a glass stirring rod with a silk cloth, giving the glass rod a positive charge. 2. Your friend holds an aluminum measuring cup in her bare hand, touching the metal. 3. Your friend puts the aluminum cup down on a rubber mat. 4. You bring the glass rod near the right side of the aluminum cup, but not close enough to touch. 5. While you hold the glass rod near the right side of the aluminum cup, your friend touches the left side of the cup with her finger, then moves her finger away. 6.
