A spring is rigidly attached to a wall. At the end of the spring there is a charge + 10C. On a seperate wall there are three charges fixed a distance 0.7 m apart. All of the charges are equal in magnitude. The central negative charge is a distance 1.03 m from the final position of the charge attached to the spring. You can ignore any effect due to mass.

Has the spring stretched or compressed from it's equilibrium length (the length it would have if there are no charges)?

How much has the spring stretched/compressed from it's equilibrium position if the spring constant of the spring is 10 N/m

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To determine whether the spring has stretched or compressed from its equilibrium length we need to compare the forces exerted by the charges on the sp... View the full answer
