Textbook Question

Chapter 7.1, Problem 7.1GI

Suppose it takes the same amount of work to push a trunk straight across a rough floor as it does to lift a weight the same distance straight upward. If both trunk and weight are moved instead on identically shaped curved paths between the same two points as before, is the work (a) still the same for both, (b) greater for the weight, or (c) greater for the trunk?

In the pivot assignment, we observed waves moving on a string stretched by hanging weights. We noticed that certain frequencies produced standing waves.

Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure below. (Let C = 12.0 µF.) A circuit consists of four capacitors. It begins at point a before the wire splits in two directions. On the upper split, there is a capacitor C followed by a 3.00 µF capacitor. On the lower split, there is a 6.00 µF capacitor. The two splits reconnect and are followed by a 20.0 µF capacitor, which is then followed by point b. (a) Find the equivalent capacitance between points a and b. µF(b) Calculate the charge on each capacitor, taking ΔVab = 16.0 V. 20.0 µF capacitor µC 6.00 µF capacitor µC 3.00 µF capacitor µC capacitor C µC
