yes everything is concentric, and I'm starting to see my erroneous thoughts.
(i) would just be the field as if no conductor was present yes? because I am checking the field at which it hasn't reached the conductor
(ii) would be zero because it is inside of the conductor which means the net...
Homework Statement
Consider a point charge q > 0 which is surrounded by a hollow metal sphere (uncharged) with inner radius R1 and outer radius R2. Use Gauss Law to determine the electric field E=E(r)er in the following regions:
(i) 0 < r < R1
(ii) R1 < r < R2
(iii) r > R2

Reading up on a damper that seems to make much more sense than what he wrote (friction) so thank you everyone for that. Can anyone help with solving the differential equation? as I do not really know much about dampers ( he hasn't gone over them in class ).
I'm told to assume its proportional to speed, the equations i gave are written right on the homework and are the only things written on the homework, along with a small picture. I promise you anything that seems off was not something I did but something weird in the assignment from my professor.
The homework really has nothing to do with solving for forces, just solving for the general solution of the differential equations, so free body diagrams really don't do anything for me here.
I am greatly struggling with a homework assignment given out by my physics professor. It mostly differential equations but based on spring physics. I'll type out the first couple parts but will most likely need help with more as I get farther.
