Problem21 82

This document contains calculations to determine the mass, time of flight, acceleration, and charge of a water droplet falling through an electric field. It first calculates the mass as 1.41×10−11 kg using the droplet's density, volume, and radius. It then finds the time of flight as 0.001 s and acceleration as 600 m/s2. Finally, it uses these values along with known constants to calculate the droplet's charge as 1.06×10−13 C.

6
m  ρV  (1000 kg m )   1.41  10 11 kg.
 3 
Next, the time of flight: t  D v  0.02 20  0.00100 s and the acceleration :

2 t (0.001 s)
So:

(1.41  10 11 kg )(600 m s )
