Assume Earth and a cloud layer 0.900 Km above the Earth can be treated as plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. a. If the cloud layer has an area of 2.00 × 104 m2, what is the capacitance?
b. If an electric field strength of 2.0 × 105 N/C causes the air to conduct charge (lightning), what charge can the cloud hold?
c. Describe what must happen to its molecules for air to conduct electricity.

Zeros that follow non-zeros numbers and are also to the right of a decimal point are significant

Consider a one meter long horizontal pipe with a constant 100 cm^2 cross sectional area. water flows rightward into the pipe at x = 0 with flow velocity 02m/sec at every point within the pipe intake area. at x=1, the rightward flow rate is 0.192 m/sec. assume the water is a conserved quantity in the pipe, so there must be a leak (a sink) somewhere in the pipe. 1. compute net volumetric flow of the source if the system to be in equilibrium. 2. now assume the pipe in the problem has no leaks. compute the net volumetric rate of change for the system.
