To find the value of \( g_2 \) in this context, we can assume that \( g_1 \) and \( g_2 \) are charges, and the force \( F \) between them is given by Coulomb's law:
\[ F = k \frac{|g_1 \cdot g_2|}{r^2} \]
Where:
- \( F \) is the force between the charges (given as \( 200 \times 10^{-3} \) N)
- \( g_1 \) is the first charge (given as \( 5 \times 10^{-9} \) C)
- \( g_2 \) is the second charge (which we need to find)
- \( r \) is the distance between the charges (given as \( 0.03 \) m)
- \( k \) is Coulomb's constant (given as \( 9 \times 10^9 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}^2 \))
Let's rearrange the equation for \( g_2 \):
\[ F = k \frac{|g_1 \cdot g_2|}{r^2} \implies |g_2| = \frac{F \cdot r^2}{k \cdot |g_1|} \]
Now, substituting in the values:
- \( F = 200 \times 10^{-3} = 0.2 \, \text{N} \)
- \( r = 0.03 \, \text{m} \)
- \( k = 9 \times 10^9 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}^2 \)
- \( g_1 = 5 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{C} \)
Now we can compute \( |g_2| \):
\[ |g_2| = \frac{0.2 \cdot (0.03)^2}{9 \times 10^9 \cdot (5 \times 10^{-9})} \]
Calculating the numerator first:
\[ 0.2 \cdot (0.03)^2 = 0.2 \cdot 0.0009 = 0.00018 \]
Now calculating the denominator:
\[ 9 \times 10^9 \cdot (5 \times 10^{-9}) = 9 \times 5 = 45 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C} \]
Now, we can find \( |g_2| \):
\[ |g_2| = \frac{0.00018}{45} \approx 4 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{C} \]
So, \( g_2 \approx 4 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{C} \).
