Your physics assignment is to figure out a way to use

Chapter 23, Problem 23.93

(choose chapter or problem)

Your physics assignment is to figure out a way to use electricity to launch a small 6.0-cm-long plastic drink stirrer. You decide that youll charge the little plastic rod by rubbing it with fur, then hold it near a long, charged wire, as shown in FIGURE P23.56. When you let go, the electric force of the wire on the plastic rod will shoot it away. Suppose you can uniformly charge the plastic stirrer to 10 nC and that the linear charge density of the long wire is 1.0 * 10-7 C/m. What is the net electric force on the plastic stirrer if the end closest to the wire is 2.0 cm away? Hint: The stirrer cannot be modeled as a point charge; an integration is required
