Explanation 1) Concept We can know the magnitude of electric field at different values of r by interpreting the graph. Then rearranging the electric field formula will help us compute the charge on the given sphere 2) Formulae The electric field for the points on the surface of charged spherical shell is, E = 1 4 π ε 0 q r 2 Where q- net charge with in the sphere r-distance between the point and center of the shell or 1 4 π ε 0 is called Coulomb’s constant, its value is 8.99 × 1 0 9 N . m 2 / C 2 3) Given i. A charged particle is held at the center of a spherical shell. ii. Fig. 23.53 gives a graph of magnitude of E of electric filed versus r. iii. Vertical axis of the graph is set by E s =10 x 10 7 N/C 4) Calculations Let E A be the magnitude of the field at r = 2.5 cm. E A = 2.0 × 10 7 N/C, and is due to the particle alone. Since E p a r t i c l e = q / 4 π ε 0 r 2 At r = 3.0 cm the total contribution (from particle and shell) is 8.0 × 10 7 N/C. Therefore, E s h e l l + E p a r t i c l e = E s h e l l + ( 2.5 / 3 ) 2 E A = 8

A high-speed lifting mechanism supports an 881 kg object with a steel cable that is 22.0 m long and 4.00 cm^2 in cross-sectional area. Young's modulus for steel is 20.0 ⋅10^10 Pa. Determine the elongation of the cable.

Namor, from Wakanda Forever, sits on a throne at the bottom of the ocean in a city called Talocan (and Atlantis in the comics). Assuming he, including his gold headdress, has a density of 1085 kg/m3 and that Namor is surrounded by salt water with a density of 1027 kg/m3, what is Namor’s normal force while sitting underwater? Take Namor’s mass as 285. kg and solve as if he has a uniform density.

To get there they need to travel through an area of salt-water, which seems to also be a magical portal, before arriving in a dry area. Judging by the time Maui and Moana spend falling through the water, it seems they dive 3440. ft deep. Assume the portal is non-magical salt-water, with a density of 1027 kg/m^3. Given that the air pressure above the portal is 1.013 ⋅10^5 Pa, what is the pressure when they are 3440. ft deep? 1 m = 3.28 ft. Moana would have a surface area of 1.30 m2. How much force would be acting on her at the bottom of this portal?
