You and your team are tasked with finding a way to electronically measure weight. You get the idea to measure the capacitance between two circular conducting plates of mass m = 0.112 kg and radius r = 11.5 cm separated by a nonconducting vertical spring of spring constant k = 1.35 × 104 N/m and unstrained length do = 3.55 cm. The idea is that the object whose weight is to be determined is placed on the upper plate, thereby compressing the spring and bringing the two plates closer together. This, in turn, changes the capacitance. An electronic instrument that measures capacitance is interfaced with a computer that records the capacitance of the plates and converts it to weight. (a) Your task is to derive an equation for the weight in terms of the capacitance that the computer will use to convert the measured capacitance to weight (in N). Enter your answer in terms of Wo - the weight of the upper plate, C- the capacitance of the capacitor, the variables given above…arrow_forwardI need help with parts b, c, and e.arrow_forward

In a test of sensitivity, a dolphin was exposed to the variable electric field from a pair of charged electrodes. The magnitude of the electric field near the sensory organs was measured by detecting the potential difference between two measurement electrodes located 1.0 cm apart along the field lines. The dolphin could reliably detect a field that produced a potential difference of 0.50 mV between these two electrodes. What is the corresponding electric field strength?arrow_forwardA capacitor is composed of two metal plates. The two plates have the dimensions L = 0.11 m and W = 0.56 m.

Write an expression for the magnitude of the electric field, |E|, halfway between the plates. Part (b) Input an expression for the magnitude of the electric field, |E2|, just in front of plate two.
