An outside force, Fo, brings two small metal spheres, A and B, at rest from a long distance away to a point where they are 1 meters apart. They are then connected by a non-conducting string of negligible mass. The spheres have mass mA = 5.8 g and mB = 9.5 g and both have equal positive charges of 5 μC. (You may assume the length of the string is much greater than the radii of the spheres.)

1)What was the total work done by the outside force to bring the spheres to the point described?
2)What was the total work done by the electric field when the two sphere were brought together as described?
3)What is the potential energy of the two sphere system after they have been brought together as described? (You may assume the spheres had zero potential energy when they were a long distance apart.)
4)Suppose you cut the string. At that instant, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of sphere A?
5)At that instant, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of sphere B?
6)After a very long time, what is the magnitude of the velocity of sphere A?
7)After a very long time, what is the magnitude of the velocity of sphere B?

Athin electrical heater is inserted between a long circular rod and a concentric tube with inner and outer radii of 20 and 40 mm. the rod (a) has a thermal conductivity of ka = 0.15 w/(m*k), while the tube (b) has a thermal conductivity of kb = 0.8 w/(m*k) and its outer surface is subjected to convection with a fluid of temperature t= -15°c and heat transfer coefficient 60 w/(m2 *k). the thermal contact resistance between the cylinder surfaces and the heater is negligible. (a) determine the electrical power per unit length of the cylinders (w/m) that is required to maintain the outer surface of cylinder b at 15°c. (b) what is the temperature at the center of cylinder a?
