One end of a 10cm long silk thread is fixed to a large vertical surface of a charged nonconducting plate and the other end is fastened to a small ball having a mass of 10g and a charge of 4.0 × 10-5C. In equilibrium, the thread makes an angle of 60° with the vertical. Find the surface charge density on the plate.
Two identical balls, each having a charge of 2.00 × 10-7C and a mass of 100g, are suspended from a common point by two insulating strings each 50cm long. The balls are held at a separation 5.0cm apart and then released. Find,
  1. The electric force on one of the charged balls.
  2. The components of the resultant force on it along and perpendicular to the string.
  3. The tension in the string.
  4. The acceleration of one of the balls. Answers are to be obtained only for the instant just after the release.
Figure shows a situation similar to the previous problem. All parameters are the same except that a battery of emf $\in$ and a variable resistance R are connected between O and C. The connecting wires have zero resistance. No external force is applied on the rod (except gravity, forces by the magnetic field and by the pivot). In what way should the resistance R be changed so that the rod may rotate with uniform angular velocity in the clockwise direction? Express your answer in terms of the given quantities and the angle $\theta$ made by the rod OA with the horizontal.

A man of mass M having a bag of mass m slips from the roof of a tall building of height H and starts falling vertically. When at a height h from the ground, he notices that the ground below him is pretty hard, but there is a pond at a horizontal distance x from the line of fall. In order to save himself he throws the bag horizontally (with respect to himself) in the direction opposite to the pond. Calculate the minimum horizontal velocity imparted to the bag so that the man lands in the water. If the man just succeeds to avoid the hard ground, where will the bag land?
