Question

You now remove an equal amount of electrons from each block, so the electric repulsion of the blocks cancels their gravitational attraction to each other. (Note: You may assume the mass of the blocks is not significantly reduced when removing these electrons-- why?)

Step 1

The gravitational force between the blocks is attractive, while the electric force due to the charges on the blocks is repulsive. To achieve a balance, we need to adjust the electric force to counteract the gravitational force. Show more…
