Chapter 23, Problem 9P

(a) Consider a uniformly charged, thin-walled, right circular cylindrical shell having total charge Q, radius R, and length . Determine the electric field at a point a distance d from the right side of the cylinder as shown in Figure P23.9. Suggestion: Use the result of Example 23.2 and treat the cylinder as a collection of ring charges. (b) What If? Consider now a solid cylinder with the same dimensions and carrying the same charge, uniformly distributed through its volume. Use the result of Example 23.3 to find the field it creates at the same point.

To determine

The electric field at a point a distance d from the right side of the thin walled right circular cylindrical shell.

Answer to Problem 9P

The electric field at a point a distance d from the right side of the thin walled right circular cylindrical shell is keQi^h[1(d2+R2)1/21((d+h)2+R2)1/2] .

Explanation of Solution

Given info: The total charge is Q , the radius of the cylindrical shell is R , the height of the cylindrical shell is h , the distance of point from the right side of the cylinder is d .

Consider one ring with thickness dx and it has charge Qdxh .

Figure (1)

The formula used to find the electric field at the chosen point is,

dE=kex(x2+R2)32Qdxhi^

Here

x is the point where electric field is to be find out.

ke is the electrostatic constant.

Integrate on both side from the limits d to d+h

dE=dd+hkeQxdxl(x2+R2)3/2i^ ,

E=dd+hkeQdxh(x2+R2)3/2i^=keQ2hdd+h(x2+R2)3/22xdxi^=keQ2h[(x2+R2)(1/2)]dd+hi^=keQi^h[1(d2+R2)1/21((d+h)2+R2)1/2]

Conclusion:

Therefore, the electric field at a point a distance d from the right side of the thin walled right circular cylindrical shell is keQi^h[1(d2+R2)1/21((d+h)2+R2)1/2] .

To determine

The electric field created at the same point by a solid cylinder with same dimensions and carrying the same charge.

Answer to Problem 9P

The electric field created at the same point by a solid cylinder with same dimensions and carrying the same charge is 2keQi^R2h[h+(d2+R2)1/2((d+h)2+R2)1/2]

Explanation of Solution

Given info: The total charge is Q , the radius of the solid cylinder is R , the height of the solid cylinder is h , the distance of point from the right side of the cylinder is d .

The charge per unit area is,

σ=QdxπR2h

Here,

σ is the surface charge density.

The field produced by the one disk is,

dE=2πkeQdxπR2h(1x(x2+R2)1/2)i^

Here,

x is the point where electric field is to be find out.

ke is the electrostatic constant

Integrate on the both side to get the total electric field

E=dd+h2πkeQdxπR2h(1x(x2+R2)1/2)i^=2keQR2h[dd+hdx12d+dd+h(x2+R2)1/22xdx]i^=2keQR2h[dd+hdx12dd+h(x2+R2)1/22xdx]i^=2keQR2h[(x)dd+h12((x2+R2)1/21/2)dd+h]

Further solve the above expression.

E=2keQR2h[d+hd((d+h)2+R2)1/2+(d2+R2)1/2]i^=2keQR2h[h+(d2+R2)1/2((d+h)2+R2)1/2]i^

Conclusion:

Therefore, the electric field created at the same point by a solid cylinder with same dimensions and carrying the same charge is 2keQi^R2h[h+(d2+R2)1/2((d+h)2+R2)1/2] .

Can someone help me
Need help on the following questions on biomechanics. (Please refer to images below)A gymnast weighing 68 kg attempts a handstand using only one arm. He plants his handat an angle resulting in the reaction force shown.A) Find the resultant force (acting on the Center of Mass)B) Find the resultant moment (acting on the Center of Mass)C) Draw the resultant force and moment about the center of mass on the figure below. Will the gymnast rotate, translate, or both? And in which direction?
Please help me on the following question (Please refer to image below)An Olympic lifter (m = 103kg) is holding a lift with a mass of 350 kg. The barexerts a purely vertical force that is equally distributed between both hands. Each arm has amass of 9 kg, are 0.8m long and form a 40° angle with the horizontal. The CoM for each armis 0.5 m from hand. Assuming the lifter is facing us in the diagram below, his right deltoidinserts 14cm from the shoulder at an angle of 13° counter-clockwise from the humerus.A) You are interested in calculating the force in the right deltoid. Draw a free body diagramof the right arm including the external forces, joint reaction forces, a coordinate system andstate your assumptions.B) Find the force exerted by the right deltoidC) Find the shoulder joint contact force. Report your answer using the magnitude and directionof the shoulder force vector.
