Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 18P
* After the experiment in Problem 17.17, you touch the sphere on the stand with your hand. Then you touch that sphere with the sphere on the handle. Draw a force-versus-time graph for the force that one sphere exerts on the other as you move the sphere on the handle slowly and steadily away from the sphere on the stand. How is this graph different from the graph in the previous problem?
