Chapter 21, Problem 68P
Two engineering students, John with a mass of 90 kg and Mary with a mass of 45 kg, are 30 m apart. Suppose each has a 0.01% imbalance in the amount of positive and negative charge, one student being positive and the other negative. Find tie order of magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction between them by replacing each student with a sphere of water having the same mass as the student.
