A small sphere with a charge of +2.44 µC is attached to a relaxed horizontal spring whose force constant is 89.2 N/m. The spring extends along the x axis, and the sphere rests on a frictionless surface with its center at the origin. A point charge Q = -8.55 µC is now moved slowly from infinity to a point x = d / 0 on the x axis. This causes the small sphere to move to the position x = 0.124 m. Find d.
