In the famous Millikan oil-drop experiment, tiny spherical droplets of oil are sprayed into a uniform vertical electric field. The drops get a very small charge (just a few electrons) due to friction with the atomizer as they are sprayed. The field is adjusted until the drop (which is viewed through a small telescope) is just balanced against gravity, and therefore remains stationary. Using the measured value of the electric field, we can calculate the charge on the drop and from this calculate the charge e of the electron. In one apparatus, the drops are 1.40 mm in diameter and the oil has a density of 0.850 g/cm3.

a) If the drops are negatively charged, which way should the electric field point to hold them stationary? Up or down? Please explain your reasoning. (1)

b) If a certain drop contains four excess electrons, what magnitude electric field is needed to hold it stationary? Please express your answer to three significant figures. (2)

c) If you measure a balancing field of 5183 N/C for another drop. How many excess electrons are on this drop? Please express your answer as an integer. (2)

Consider a wire of uniform density and mass M shaped into a quarter circle of radius R.The wire is located in the xy plane, with the origin at the focus of the quarter circle (i.e at the center of the circle of which the wire is part). Choose the x axis parallel to the line that connects the endpoints of the wire, so that the y-z plane is a plane of reflection symmetry for the wire. This means that the ends of the wire are located at R/sqrt(2)*(1,1,0) and R/sqrt(2)*(-1,1,0) and that the wire can be described by the equation x^2 + y^2 = R^2.

(a) Calculate the moment of inertia tensor for rotation about the origin. Also calculate the location of the center of mass for the wire.

(b) Using the results from (a) and the generalized parallel axis theorem, find the moment of inertia tensor for rotation about one of the wire ends, with the x-axis along the line connecting the two ends of the wire. Hint: You will need to apply the theorem twice.

The mass of the sun is 2*1030 kg. It currently consists to about 70% (mass) of hydrogen. The dominant source of energy for the sun is the pp-chain (type I) fusion process in which four protons fuse into a 4He core consisting of two protons and two neutrons. This process releases 26.22 MeV ( = 4.2*10-12 J) of energy. Assume that to first order the luminosity of the sun remains constant at 1.1 times its current-day value. How long will it take for the sun until the fraction of hydrogen is reduced from 70% to 30%?
