Integrated Concepts
(a) In Figure \(18.59\), four equal charges \(q\) lie on the corners of a square. A fifth charge \(Q\) is on a mass \(m\) directly above the center of the square, at a height equal to the length d of one side of the square. Determine the magnitude of \(q\) in terms of \(Q, m\) , and \(d\) , if the Coulomb force is to equal the weight of \(m\) .
(b) Is this equilibrium stable or unstable? Discuss.
