Chapter 19, Problem 31PCE
Predict/Calculate The point charges in Figure 19-42 have the following values: q1 = +2.1 μC, q2 = +6.3 μC, q3 = −0.89 μC. (a) Given that the distance d in Figure 19-42 is 4.35 cm, find the direction and magnitude of the net electrostatic force exerted on the point charge q1. (b) How would your answers to part (a) change if the distance d were doubled? Explain.

Imagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures. Just enter the number, nothing else.
