Chapter 21, Problem 68P

Figure 21.37 shows a rectangular box with sides 2a and length L surrounding a line carrying uniform line charge density A. The line passes directly through the center of the box faces. Integrate the field of the line charge over strips of width dx as shown to find the electric flux through one face of the box. Multiply by 4 to get the total flux, and show that your result is consistent with Gauss’s law.

A m₁ = 1.70-kg aluminum block and a m₂ = 8.00-kg copper block are connected by a light string over a frictionless pulley. The two blocks are allowed to move on a fixed steel block wedge (of angle 0 = 31.5°) as shown in the figure. (For aluminum on steel, μk k = 0.36.) Мк Aluminum m Copper = 0.47. For copper on steel, Steel m2 Ꮎ (a) the acceleration of the two blocks m/s² (b) the tension in the string N

While the 83.3 kg Dora Milaje is in equilibrium, the rope makes a 70.0˚ angle with the horizontal. Assuming the coefficient of friction between her shoes and the ship is 0.772 and her static friction is at its maximum value, what is the tension in the cable?
