2. A plastic sphere (q=2uC) is secured to one end of dental floss 40.0cm in length. The other end of the floss is secured to a vertical wall in your home kitchen. You vaguely remember a story from your physics teacher that a uniform horizontal electric field exists within your kitchen (don't ask). You observe the sphere to be suspended in mid-air, with the string making an angle of 20 with the kitchen wall. If the charged sphere has a mass of 23.0g, determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field in the kitchen
