How Far Apart Should Two Protons Be If the Electrical

question 96

Short Answer

How far apart should two protons be if the electrical force of repulsion on each one is equal to its weight on the earth? $\left( k = 1 / 4 \pi \varepsilon _ { 0 } = 9.0 \times 10 ^ { 9 } \mathrm {~N} \cdot \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 } / \mathrm { C } ^ { 2 } , e = 1.6 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm { C } \right.$ , $m _ { \text {proton } } = 1.67 \times 10 ^ { - 27 } \mathrm {~kg}$ )
