Question
College Physics-Young 8th ed. 17.2 practice problem page556 A hydrogen atom is at the earth's surface. The electron andproton in the atom are separated by a distance of 5.29x10^-11m. What is the ratio of the magnitude of the electrical forceexerted by the proton on the electron to the weight of theelectron? answer: 9x10^21 How do I set up this problem? My attempt was Force electrical/weight (mass x gravity) of electron k x e^2/r^2 all divided by mass of electron x 6.67 x 10^-11. Please help!

How do I set up this problem? My attempt was Force electrical/weight (mass x gravity) of electron k x e^2/r^2 all divided by mass of electron x 6.67 x 10^-11. Please help!electricalforce=9*109*1.6*10-19*1.6*10-19/(5.29x10^-11)2N
gravitational force=weight of theelectron=9.1*10-31*9.8N
ratio=electrical force/weight
we will get the answer.
