Two small identically charged conducting spheres 1and 2 of equal mass are hung from
a fixed support with non conducting threads of equal length as shown in the figure. Both
the spheres have equal mass m1=m2=m and equal charge q1=q2=(3.6*10^-8) , the
length of the thread is L=160cm and the horizontal separation is x=13cm. we insert
another charged sphere 3 in between with a thread of length h which is shown in figure 2.
Note that, value of h is the vertical distance from sphere 1 and 2 to the ceiling. Assume
that the charge of sphere 3 is q3=(4.5*10^-9)C. Find the separation after the system
reaches equilibrium from this step. Hint: Use small angle approximation and if you use
that then
