Suppose a glass rod is rubbed on wool. When held \(35.0 \mathrm{~mm}\) above a \(0.20 \mathrm{~g}\) scrap of paper, the rod lifts the paper with an initial acceleration of \(0.14 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\). Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric force exerted by the rod on the scraps.
