Question: A charged sphere in static equilibrium is resting on a horizontal surface. Directly above it is another charged sphere ( also in static equilibrium )

A charged sphere in static equilibrium is resting on a horizontal surface. Directly above it is another charged sphere (also in static equilibrium) that is hanging from a 195Nm spring. The 30kg red sphere has more charge than the 10kg green sphere. The total charge magnitude on the spheres is 84iCC & they have the same polarity. As a result the normal force on the red sphere is 353N & the centers of the spheres are 0.49m apart. Determine the charge magnitude on each sphere.
