In Fig. 21-28, particle 1 of charge and particle 2 of charge are held at separation on an x axis. If particle 3 of unknown charge is to be located such that the net electrostatic force on it from particles 1 and 2 is zero, what must be the (a) x and (b) y coordinates of particle 3?
In Fig. 12-28, a man is trying to get his car out of mud on the shoulder of a road. He ties one end of a rope tightly around the front bumper and the other end tightly around a utility pole 28 m away. He then pushes sideways on the rope at its midpoint with a force of 500 N, displacing the center of the rope 0.21 m from its previous position, and the car barely moves. What is the magnitude of the force on the car from the rope? (The rope stretches somewhat.)
In Federalist #14, James Madison explains why he believes the new federal government will be able to more effectively govern an area the size of the United States. Why does he argue that this is the case, and how can it be related to transaction and conformity costs?
In February, Fire Services Pty Ltd, an Australian company, agreed to sell an airfield fire truck valued at AUD $150,000 to Harrow International Airport, an English company. The sale was on FOB (Melbourne) terms. Harrow International Airport organised transport from the Port of Melbourne to the Port of London with an Australia shipping company, Ocean Carriers.
Despite Ocean Carriers carrying out checks on the holds and stowing systems in the cargo holds prior to the journey, during a storm in the North Pacific a lashing belt snapped causing significant damage to the front of the truck.
After arriving at the Port of London the truck was further damaged as it was being unloaded. The stevedore operator employed by the carrier was inexperienced having only recently gained the appropriate high-risk work licences required to operate a vehicle-loading machinery with a capacity of 10 metre tonnes. The operator forgot to ensure that the hoisting gear was properly engaged before attempting to life the truck from the deck of the ship. As the truck was hoisted up in the air and was approximately 2 meters above the deck, the hoisting gear uncoupled and the truck crashed back onto the deck, the ship then lurched violently and the truck rolled over and off the side, crashing onto the dock. The truck was almost completely destroyed.
Has Ocean Carriers breached any of its obligations under the Modified Hague Visby Rules? In your response remember to consider both the carrier’s obligations and available defences under the Rules.
In February, a major airline had 77.6 of their flights arrive on time. Assume that the event that a given flight arrives on time is independent of the event that another flight arrives on time.
A writer plans to take four separate flights for her publisher next month. Assuming the airline has the same on-time performance as in February, what is the probability that all four flights arrive on time?

In February 2017, Dr. Christopher Duntsch became the first surgeon in American history known to be sentenced to prison for botching a patient surgery. A licensed neurosurgeon, Duntsch left a string of deaths and maimed bodies in his wake: He was accused of causing the death of two surgery patients and leaving 33 others permanently damaged. His patients left their lives in his hands; he left them paralyzed or dead.
The checks and balances that were supposed to contain Duntsch failed utterly. His medical school licensed him but didn’t require the preparation necessary to instill competence. Hospitals suspended him but didn’t report him. The medical board could do nothing without forms filed against him. Patients were left without recourse.
When checks and balances fail, damage is usually the result.
That’s why when it came to our system of government, the founders were so focused on creating gridlock. They recognized that in a system in which legitimacy sprang from popular support, the easy path to perdition lay in popularly backed centralized power — tyranny could spring just as easily from a popular majority as from a king or despot. The founders didn’t trust individuals with authority, and they didn’t trust human beings to delegate authority to mere individuals.
But popular governments have always bucked against such limitations.
The majority of Americans always want action, on some grounds or others. That leads to an eternal drive to grant unchecked power to some institution of government. As Alexis de Tocqueville writes in his 1840 “Democracy in America”: “It may easily be foreseen that almost all the able and ambitious members of a democratic community will labor without ceasing to extend the powers of government, because they all hope at some time or other to wield those powers. … Centralization will be the natural government.”
We’re now seeing the consequences of such centralization on two separate fronts: the president’s authority to declare a national emergency and the FBI’s investigations into the president. Proponents of President Trump would like to see power centralized in the presidency; antagonists of President Trump would like to see power centralized in the FBI.
President Trump’s allies seem eager for Trump to declare a national emergency in order to appropriate funds for a border wall. The law cuts against such a declaration: The National Emergencies Act was written to curtail presidential authority, not increase it. No matter how much border hawks (including me) want a border barrier, the proper method is to request funds from Congress.
Meanwhile, President Trump’s enemies are celebrating reports this week that the FBI investigated Trump as a possible Russian agent after his firing of then-FBI director James Comey. Trump had authority under the Constitution to fire Comey, and there’s no actual evidence that Trump is an agent of the Russians. But Trump’s enemies want the legislature to step in and attempt to protect the FBI from executive branch checks on it.

All of this is foolish. It’s good that the legislative branch checks the executive branch, and it’s good that the executive branch must remain in control of executive branch agencies. Here’s the easy test: How would you feel if the situations were reversed? How would Republicans feel about an emergency declaration from a Democratic president to shift funds to leftist priorities? How would Democrats feel about Republican attempts to seize control of the FBI for purposes of investigating a Democratic president?Nobody ought to trust institutions enough to grant them unchecked power. And no one ought to trust the people enough to allow us to do so.

In fast-pitch softball, the pitcher uses a circular “windmill” motion to pitch a softball at a speed of about 70 mph (v = 32 m/s). This pitcher has an arm length of L = 80 cm.
a) What is the angular velocity of her arm when the ball is released?
b) The pitching motion involves a total of about 500° of rotation (almost 1.5 full rotations) and lasts 0.44 seconds. Assuming that the arm’s angular acceleration is constant, what is its magnitude? (calculate using one of the angular kinematic equations.)
c) The pitcher releases the ball when her arm is pointing straight down (towards the ground). If the pitcher’s hand has a mass of 300 g, and the ball has a mass of 180 g, what is the force exerted by the wrist on the hand just before the ball is released? *** (Draw a free-body diagram; take the hand and ball together as one object. Note that there are two forces on this object. What is its acceleration? You may neglect the instantaneous angular acceleration for this part of the problem.) This force is a measure of the tension in the pitcher’s wrist tendons.
