    A dog is tied to an apple tree with a 15m rope that can withstand a maximum tension of 43200N. The apples on the tree are each charged +5mC and the dog's fleas are each charged +3mC. The problem is to determine the minimum number of fleas the dog must have so that the electrostatic force between the dog and tree is enough to break the rope and allow the dog to chase a cat.

    A CHARGED DOGGY DILEMMA

    A dog is tied to an apple tree with a 15m rope. The maximum tension of the rope is 43200N.

    The apple tree contains apples and each apple is +5mC charged.
    The dog has fleas and each flea is +3mC charged.

    Suddenly a cat walks by and the dog becomes excited.


    Determine the minimum number of fleas the dog must have so
    that the electrostatic force (between the dog & the tree) will
    break the rope and the dog can happily chase the cat?
