Magnitude of the resultant force (Fn₁) on q₁

Fn₁ = 0.142N (directed toward the center of the square)

Explanation:

Theory of electrical forces

Because the particle q₁ is close to three other electrically charged particles, it will experience three electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

Graphic attached

The directions of the individual forces exerted by q₂, q₃ and q₄ on q₁ are shown in the attached figure.

The force (F₁₄) of q₄ on q₁ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs and the forces (F₁₂) and (F₁₃) of q₂ and q₃ on q₁ are attractive because the charges have opposite signs.

Calculation of the forces exerted on the charge q₁

To calculate the magnitudes of the forces exerted by the charges q₂, q₃, and q₄ on the charge q₁ we apply Coulomb's law:

$F_{12} = \frac{k*q_1*q_2}{r_{12}^2}$ : Magnitude of the electrical force of q₂ over q₁. Equation((1)

$F_{13} = \frac{k*q_1*q_3}{r_{13}^2}$ : Magnitude of the electrical force of q₃ over q₁. Equation (2)

$F_{14} = \frac{k*q_1*q_4}{r_{14}^2}$ : Magnitude of the electrical force of q₄ over q₁. Equation (3)

Equivalences

1µC= 10⁻⁶ C

Known data

q₁=q₄= 1.96 µC = 1.96*10⁻⁶C

q₂=q₃= -1.96 µC = -1.96*10⁻⁶C

r₁₂= r₁₃ = 0.47m: distance between q₁ and q₂ and q₁ and q₄

$r_{14} = \sqrt{0.47^2+ 0.47^2}=0.664m$

k=8.99x10⁹N*m²/C² : Coulomb constant

F₁₂ calculation

We replace data in the equation (1):

$F_{12} = \frac{8.99*10^9*(1.96*10^{-6})^2}{0.47^2}$

F₁₂ = 0.156 N Direction of the positive x axis (+x)

F₁₃ calculation

We replace data in the equation (2):

$F_{13} = \frac{8.99*10^9*(1.96*10^{-6})^2}{0.47^2}$

F₁₃ = 0.156 N Direction of the negative y axis (-y)

Magnitude of the net electrostatic force between F₁₃ and F₁₂

$F_{n23}= \sqrt{0.156^2+0.156^2} = 0.22N$ (directed toward the center of the square)

F₁₄ calculation

We replace F₁₄ data in the equation (3):

$F_{14} = \frac{8.99*10^9*(1.96*10^{-6})^2}{0.664^2}$

F₁₄ = 0.078 N (In the opposite direction to Fn₂₃)

Calculation of the resulting force on q₁: Fn₁

Fn₁ = Fn₂₃ - F₁₄ = 0.22 - 0.078 = 0.142 N

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth.
