Chapter 2.4, Problem 170E

[T] The following problems consider the scalar form of Coulomb’s law, which describes the electrostatic force between two point charges, such as elections. It is given by the equation F ( r ) = k e | q 1 q 2 | r 2 where keis Coulomb's constant, q i are the magnitudes of the charges of the two particles, and r is the distance between the two particles.

170. [T] Determine the value and units of k given that the mass of the rocket on Earth is 3 million kg. (Hint: The distance from the center of Earth to its surface is 6378 km.)
