Two small charged spheres are suspended from the ceiling, on a silk fiber. The charge on each sphere is +0.10 µC and -0.10 µC. The mass of each of the spheres is 9.0 grams (change to kg). Calculate the separation of the two spheres if the net force acting on the bottom sphere is zero.

Consider the growth of a 20-nm-diameter silicon nanowire onto a silicon wafer. the temperature of the wafer surface is maintained at 2400 k. assume the thermal conductivity of the silicon nanowire is 20 wm-1k-1 and all its surfaces including the tip are subjected to convection heat transfer with the coefficient h = 1×105 wm-2k-1 and t∞ = 8000 k. when the nanowire grows to l = 300 nm, what is the temperature of the nanowire tip (t (x =
