Reference no: EM13524957

Two small plastic balls hang from threads of negligible mass. Each ball has a mass of 0.54 g and a charge of magnitude q. The balls are attracted to each other, and the threads attached to the balls make an angle of 20.0° with the vertical, as shown in the figure below.

(a) Find the tension in each of the threads.

(b) Find the magnitude of the charge on the balls.
