Answer:
X₃₁ = 0.58 m and X₃₂ = -1.38 m
Explanation:
For this exercise we use Newton's second law where the force is the Coulomb force
F₁₃ - F₂₃ = 0
F₁₃ = F₂₃
Since all charges are of the same sign, forces are repulsive
F₁₃ = k q₁ q₃ / r₁₃²
F₂₃ = k q₂ q₃ / r₂₃²
Let's find the distances
r₁₃ = x₃- 0
r₂₃ = 2 –x₃
We substitute
k q q / x₃² = k 4q q / (2-x₃)²
q² (2 - x₃)² = 4 q² x₃²
4- 4x₃ + x₃² = 4 x₃²
5x₃² + 4 x₃ - 4 = 0
We solve the quadratic equation
x₃ = [-4 ±√(16 - 4 5 (-4)) ] / 2 5
x₃ = [-4 ± 9.80] 10
X₃₁ = 0.58 m
X₃₂ = -1.38 m
For this two distance it is given that the two forces are equal
In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of charged particles to calculate the distance between them, this corresponds to:
[tex]X_{31} = 0.58 m \\ X_{32} = -1.38 m[/tex]
For this exercise we use Newton's second law where the force is the Coulomb force, we can say that is:
[tex]F_{13} - F_{23} = 0\\ F_{13} = k q_1 q_3 / r_{13}^2\\ F_{23} = k q_2 q_3 / r^2_{23}\\ 4- 4x_3 + x_3^2 = 4 x_3^2\\ 5x_3^2 + 4 x_3 - 4 = 0\\ x_3 = [-4 +\sqrt{(16 - 4 5 (-4))} ] / 2 5\\ X_{31} = 0.58 m\\X_{32} = -1.38 m [/tex]
