Question

Suppose you had two small boxes, eachcontaining 1.00 g of protons. If one were placed on the moon by anastronaut and the other were left on the earth, and if they wereconnected by a very light (and very long!) string, what would bethe tension in the string? Express your answer in newtons and inpounds. Suppose you had two small boxes, eachcontaining 1.00 g of protons. If one were placed on the moon by anastronaut and the other were left on the earth, and if they wereconnected by a very light (and very long!) string, what would bethe tension in the string? Express your answer in newtons and inpounds.

Explanation / Answer

the tension of the string should be the electric force that iscaused between two boxs. T=kq^2/r^2 mass of proton is 1,67*10^-27 kg , charge of a proton is 1,6*10^-19 C so if the box is made by proton so number of protonN=1/1,67*10^-24 so the charge is N*1,6*10^-19˜9,6*10^4(C) Distance between moon and earth is3,82*10^8m so F=kq^2/r^2=568(N).
