a. Two masses of equal magnitude are located at
(0,0,a) and (0,a,0). Find the Inertia Tensor. Now set m =1 and a = 1 What
are the Eigenvalues? What are the principal axes (eigenspaces)?

b. Now ADD a third mass at (0,a/2,a/2) to the above system of part A.
Find the Inertia Tensor. What are the eigenvalues? What are the principal
axes (eigenspaces)? Form the Matrix P from the normalized eigenvectors
and carefully explain IF you can interpret P as a rotation matrix. IF you can,
what is the rotation angle and axis?

please show detailed work, thanks

Three equal charges of magnitude q=286.3 micro C, but of the same sign, are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle. The charge Q that must be placed at the geometric center of the triangle of opposite sign so that the resultant force on each corner charge is zero is ___ micro C.

Three equal positive point charges of magnitude Q = 10.00μ C are located at three corners...

Three equal positive point charges of magnitude Q = 10.00μ C are located at three corners of a square of edge length d = 10.5 cm. A negative charge -30.00μ C is placed on the fourth corner. At the position of the negative charge, what is the magnitude of the electric field due to the three positive charges? What is the magnitude of the attractive force on the negative charge?

If two ends of a rope are pulled with forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction,...

If two ends of a rope are pulled with forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction, the tension at the center of the rope must be zero. True or false? The answer is false. I chose true though and I'm not understanding why. Forces act at the center of mass of the object, so if there are two forces of equal and opposite magnitude, then they should cancel out resulting in zero tension, no?
