To determine whether the man will get an electric shock when he touches the aluminum sheet the next morning, we can analyze the situation step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Setup The man has fixed a 2-meter high insulating slab with a large aluminum sheet (1 m² area) on top of it. The insulating slab prevents any direct electrical connection between the aluminum sheet and the ground. **Hint:** Consider the properties of insulating materials and how they affect charge distribution. ### Step 2: Charge Accumulation ...

A charge of 17.7 xx 10^(-4)C is distributed uniformly over a large sheet of area 200 m^(2) . The electric field intensity at a distance 20 cm from it in air will be

Two heavy metallic plates are joined together at 90^@ to each other. A laminar sheet of mass 30kg is hinged at the line AB joining the two heavy metallic plates. The hinges are frictionless. The moment of inertia of the laminar sheet about an axis parallel to AB and passing through its center of mass is 1.2 kg m^2. Two rubber obstacles P and Q are fixed, one on each metallic plate at a distance 0.5m from the line AB. This distance is chosen so that the reaction due to the hinges on the laminar sheet is zero during the impact. Initially the laminar sheet hits one of the obstacles with an angular velocity 1 rad/s and turns back. If the impulse on the sheet due to each obstacal is 6 N-s, (a) Find the location of the center of mass of the laminar sheet from AB. (b) At what angular velocity does the laminar sheet come back after the first impact? (c) After how many impacts, does the laminar sheet come to rest?
