With the 2nd one the quick way to do it to get the correct MCQ answer is to remember that the force (field strength) is prop to 1/x2
Forget the nC units and the mm as they cancel.
8/y2 = 2/x2 at the point where the forces are equal but opposite. y is the distance to the larger charge, x to the smaller.
This means
y2/x2 = 8/2 = 4
y/x = 2
You then simple divide up that 60mm into two sections in the ratio 2 to 1
That would give 40mm and 20mm
These MCQ questions will always have numbers where this ratio works out simply.
eg
If the ratio of the charges was 9, the ratio of the distances would be 3 and you divide the length into two sections with ratio 3 to 1. (In this case the total length would probably have been something like 80mm which could be divided into 60mm and 20mm.)
For the 1st one it's just plugging numbers into the standard formula
E = BLv
where B is the vertical component of the Earth's field
L the lenght of the wing span and
v the speed of the plane.
All in appropriate SI units, of course. (Which they are, here.)
