A positive charge q1 = 2.70 μC on a frictionless horizontal surface is attached to a spring of force constant  k as in Figure P15.12. When a charge of  q2 = 28.60 μC is placed 9.50 cm away from the positive charge, the spring stretches by 5.00 mm, reducing the distance between charges to  d = 9.00 cm. Find the value of k
