The foot of your average gecko is covered with billions of tinyhair tips—called spatulae—that are made of keratin, the proteinfound in human hair. A subtle shift of the electron distribution inboth the spatulae and the wall to which a gecko clings producesan adhesive force by means of the van der Waals interaction between molecules. Suppose a gecko uses its spatulae to cling to a vertical windowpane. If you were to describe this situation in terms ofa coefficient of static friction, ms, what value would you assign toms? Is this a sensible way to model the gecko’s feat? Explain.

- In 1910 R. A. Millikan8 studied the motion of tiny droplets of oil falling in an electric field. A field of strength E exerts a force Ee on a droplet with charge e. Assume that E has been adjusted so the droplet is held stationary (v = 0) and that w and B are as given above. Find an expression for e. Millikan repeated this experiment many times, and from the data that he gathered he was able to deduce the charge on an electron.arrow_forwardPlease fill out the template.
