A small block of mass m and charge Q is placed on an insulated, frictionless, inclined plane of angle θ as in the figure below. An electric field is applied parallel to the incline.

A block of mass m and charge Q rests on an inclined plane that makes an angle θ with the horizontal.

(a) Find an expression for the magnitude of the electric field that enables the block to remain at rest. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g for the acceleration due gravity.)

E =_________

(b) If m = 4.96 g, Q = -6.72 µC, and θ = 22.5°, determine the magnitude and the direction of the electric field that enables the block to remain at rest on the incline.

magnitude _________ N/C

direction ___________

Expert Solution

Summary: If electric field is applied along the inclined plane then it can balance the block.

A block is placed on a frictionless ramp at a height of 13.5 m above the ground. Starting from rest, the block slides down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the block slides onto a frictionless horizontal track without slowing down. At the end of the horizontal track, the block slides smoothly onto a second frictionless ramp. How far along the second ramp does the block travel before coming to a momentary stop, as measured along the incline...
