This problem explores the behavior of charge on conductors. We take as an example a long conducting rod suspended by insulating

strings. Assume that the rod is initially electrically neutral. For convenience we will refer to the left end of the rod as end A, and the right end of the rod as end B. In the answer options for this problem, "strongly attracted/repelled" means "attracted/repelled with a force of magnitude similar to that which would exist between two charged balls.A small metal ball is given a negative charge, then brought near (i.e., within about 1/10 the length of the rod) to end A of the rod. What happens to end A of the rod when the ball approaches it closely this first time?

The answer is 9938.8 km. Explanation: 1 pound-force = 4.48 N. Hence, 30.0 pounds-force = 134.4 N. The gravitational force between Earth and an object on its surface is defined by: Where M denotes Earth’s mass, m is the object's mass, and R represents the Earth's radius (6371 km). To determine height (h) above Earth's surface, we compare ratios. Ultimately, Pete's weight would be 30 pounds at a height of 9938.8 km from the Earth's surface.
