A metal sphere with charge +8.00 nC is attached to the left-hand end of a nonconducting rod of length L = 2.00 m. A second sphere with charge +2.00 nC is fixed to the right-hand end of the rod (Fig. P23.53). At what position d along the rod can a charged bead be placed for the bead to be in equilibrium? FIGURE P23.53
A small sphere of charge q1 = 0.800 C hangs from the end of a spring as in Figure P22.32a. When another small sphere of charge q2 = 0.600 C is held beneath the first sphere as in Figure P22.32b, the spring stretches by d = 3.50 cm from its original length and reaches a new equilibrium position with a separation between the charges of r = 5.00 cm. What is the force constant of the spring? Figure P22.32
Three small metallic spheres with identical mass m and identical charge +q are suspended by light strings from the same point (Fig. P23.55). The left-hand and right-hand strings have length L and make an angle with the vertical. What is the value of q in terms of k, g, m, L, and ? Figure P23.55
Eight charged panicles, each of magnitude q, are located on the corners of a cube of edge s as shown in Figure P22.48. (a) Determine the x, y, and z components of the total force exerted by the other charges on the charge located at point A. What are (b) the magnitude and (c) the direction of this total force?

(a) Determine the electric field strength at a point 1.00 cm to the left of the middle charge shown in Figure P15.10. (b) If a charge of 2.00 C is placed at this point, what are the magnitude and direction of the force on it?
A line of positive charge is formed into a semicircle of radius R = 60.0 cm as shown in Figure P23.41. The charge per unit length along the semicircle is given by the expression = 0 cos . The total charge on the semicircle is 12.0 C. Calculate the total total on a charge of 3.00 C placed at the center of curvature P. Figure P23.41
