Question:
Consider the two small, equal-mass, charged spheres shown in the figure. The top sphere is suspended from the ceiling by a filament, and has a charge of q1 = 29.8 nC. The bottom sphere has a charge of q2 = −58.0 nC, and is directly below the top sphere. Assume d = 2.00 cm and m = 6.10 g. A rope hangs vertically down from a ceiling with a positive charge q1 at its end. Negative charge q2 is a distance d directly below q1. (a) Calculate the tension (in N) in the filament. N (b) If the filament can withstand a maximum tension of 0.180 N, what is the smallest value d can have before the filament breaks? (Give your answer in cm.) cm

q1 = 29.8 nC.
The bottom sphere has a charge of
q2 = −58.0 nC,
and is directly below the top sphere. Assume
d = 2.00 cm
and
m = 6.10 g.
A rope hangs vertically down from a ceiling with a positive charge q1 at its end. Negative charge q2 is a distance d directly below q1.
(a)
Calculate the tension (in N) in the filament.

(b)
If the filament can withstand a maximum tension of 0.180 N, what is the smallest value d can have before the filament breaks? (Give your answer in cm.)
