Solution Summary
The solution analyzes two small charged spheres to hang at equilibrium. The tension, force and charge of each sphere is computed. With good explanations and calculations, the problems are solved.
Solution Preview
A.)
Because, angle of the string with the vertical (Q) = 10 degree
here, read Q as theta.
In Equilibrium:
In horizontal direction:
Fe = T*sin(Q)
(where T is the tension in the string and Fe is the electric force between two charges)
Fe = ...
