Suppose that 3.00 g of hydrogen is separated into electrons and protons. Suppose also that the protons are placed at the Earth's North Pole and the electrons are placed at the South Pole. What is the resulting compressional force on the Earth?

Explanation:

Atomic mass of hydrogen is 1 . so 1 g of hydrogen will have 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

3 g of hydrogen will have 3 x 6.02 x 10²³ atoms . This will give 3 x 6.02 x 10²³  protons and same number of electrons

So number of protons at north pole = 3 x 6.02 x 10²³

charge on these protons = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x  3 x 6.02 x 10²³ C

= 28.9 x 10⁴ C  

similarly total charge on electrons at south pole = 28.9 x 10⁴ C

distance between them = diameter of the earth = 2 x 6356 x 10³ m

= 12712 x 10³ m

Attractive force between these charges

= k q₁q₂ / r² , q₁ ,q₂ are charges and r is distance between charges.

= 9 x 10⁹ x (28.9 x 10⁴)² / (12712 x 10³ )²

= 4.6517 x 10⁻⁵ x 10¹¹

= 4.6517 x 10⁶ N

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.
