Describe the two experiments related to static friction with diagram.

Answer
►
►It was observed that if two glass rods rubbed with wool or silk cloth are brought close to each other, they will repel. [Fig. (a)].
►The two strands of wool or two pieces of silk cloth, with which the rods were rubbed, also repel each other.
►The glass rod and wool are attracted to each other.
►Similarly, two plastic rods rubbed with cat's fur will repell each other [Fig. (b)] but attract the fur.
►On the other hand, the plastic rod attracts the glass rod [Fig. (c)] and repels the silk or wool with which the glass rod is rubbed. The glass rod repels the fur.

In the Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom, the nucleus (radius about $10^{-15} m$ ) is analogous to the sun about which the electron move in orbit (radius $\approx 10^{-10} m$ ) like the earth orbits around the sun.

The radius of earth's orbit is about $1.5 \times 10^{11} m$. The radius of sun is taken as $7 \times 10^8 m$.
