A 25-kg television set rests on four rubber pads that are on the floor, each one having a height of 1.0 cm and a radius of 0.60 cm. A horizontal force is applied to the television set

When the pads are just at the point of sliding over the floor, how far has the television set moved sideways due to the deformation of the pads? The coefficient of static friction between the rubber and the floor is 1.0 and the shear modulus of these rubber pads is 2.6 × 106 Pa. A) 4.2 mm B) 16 mm C) 2.1 mm D) 8.4 mm E) 1.1 mm

Two identical conducting spheres A and B carry equal charge and exert electrostatic forces of magnitude F on each other. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters. A third identical conducting sphere C is uncharged. Sphere C is first touched to A, then to B, and finally removed. As a result, the electrostatic force between A and B becomes:

A) F/2 B) F/4 C) 3F/8 D) F/16 E) 0
