Oil has a density ? of 860kg/m3. An oil droplet is suspended between two plates 1.0cm apart by adjusting the potential difference between them to 1177V. When the voltage is removed, the droplet falls and quickly reaches constant speed. It is timed with a stopwatch and falls 3.00mm in 7.33s. The viscosity of air is 1.83

Weighing Lunch

For lunch you and your friends decide to stop at the nearest deli and have a sandwich made fresh for you with 0.100 kg of turkey. The slices of turkey are weighed on a plate of mass 0.400 kgplaced atop a vertical spring of negligible mass and force constant of 200 N/m . The slices of turkey are dropped on the plate all at the same time from a height of 0.250 m . They make a totally inelastic collision with the plate and set the scale into vertical simple harmonic motion (SHM). You may assume that the collision time is extremely small.

Part A

What is the amplitude of oscillations A of the scale after the slices of turkey land on the plate?

Express your answer numerically in meters and take free-fall acceleration to be g = 9.80 m/s2 .

A = ?? m

Part B

What is the period of oscillation T of the scale?

Express your answer numerically in seconds.

T = ?? s

In an ink-jet printer, drops of ink are given a controlled amount of charge before they pass through a uniform electric field generated by two charged plates. If the electric field between the plates is 1.5x106N/C over a region 1.20cm long, and drops of mass 0.12nanograms enter the electric field region moving horizontally at 10m/s, (a) how much charge on a drop is necessary to produce a vertical deflection of 0.50mm at the end of the electric field? (b) What is the vertical deflection between the point where it leaves the plates and where it strikes the paper, if the paper is 0.50cm from the end of the charged plates? Ignore other forces such as gravity and air resistance, and assume the field between the plates is vertical and constant, and drops abruptly to zero at the edge of the plates. (a) C (b) cm
