Question

Transcribed Image Text:Two small metallic spheres, each of
mass 0.20 g, are suspended as
pendulums by light strings from a
common point as shown in Figure
below. The spheres are given the same
electric charge, and it is found that
they come to equilibrium when each
string is at an angle of 5.0° with the
vertical. If each string is 30.0 cm long,
what is the magnitude of the charge
on each sphere?
(Final answer in nanocoulombs.

She rubs it on her head and then holds it up to the ceiling and lets the force of static electricity between the balloon and the ceiling hold her up. If Zoey weighs 700N and the charge on the balloon is 1.5 x 10-9 C and the balloon is 4.0 x 10 3 m away from the ceiling's charge, then what must the charge on the ceiling be to be able to create a force of electricity equal to Zoey's weight?
