Question: A small insulating charged ball, with charge q = 5 C and mass m = 0 . 6 kg hangs vertically from an insulating thread.

A small insulating charged ball, with charge q =5C and mass m =0.6kg hangs vertically from an insulating thread. When placed in a uniform and horizontal electric field, the ball moves towards the right until the thread forms an angle alpha =20 degrees. What's the magnitude and direction of the electric field? (g =9.8N / k * g)
