You are working with a team designing capacitors for specialized purposes. One client needs a capacitor shaped like a sphere that can store the most energy for its size. You are to begin the design process by performing calculations for a simple spherical capacitor consisting of two thin concentric spherical shells separated by a dielectric. You decide to calculate the maximum energy that can be stored in terms of the radius of the outer shell and the maximum electric field that the dielectric can withstand before breaking down.
After you have derived a symbolic answer, get an idea of how much energy this is by finding a numerical answer for a capacitor with an outer shell that has a radius of 5 cm (about the size of a softball), filled with a dielectric with a breakdown voltage of 150 x 106 V/m and a dielectric constant of 3.
(a) Give a purely symbolic answer to the problem in terms of (only) the quantities given in the problem and known constants. Be sure to define each of the symbols you use.
(b) Give a numerical answer to the problem.

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 76.9 N, Jill pulls with 70.9 N in the northeast direction, and Jane pulls to the southeast with 163 N. (Since the donkey is involved with such uncoordinated people, who can blame it for being stubborn?) Find the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey.
