Your answer is partially correct.
Two small objects, A and B, are fixed in place and separated by 2.98 cm in a vacuum. Object A has a charge of
+0.776 μC, and object B has a charge of -0.776 μC. How many electrons must be removed from A and put
onto B to make the electrostatic force that acts on each object an attractive force whose magnitude is 12.4 N?

Problem 4) A particle is being pushed up a smooth slot by a rod. At the instant when 0 = rad,
the angular speed of the arm is ė = 1 rad/sec, and the angular acceleration is = 2 rad/sec².
What is the net force acting on the 1 kg particle at this instant? Express your answer as a vector
in cylindrical coordinates. Hint: You can express the radial coordinate as a function of the angle
by observing a right triangle. (20 pts)
