McLovin is trying to make a fake ID using his highschool photocopier. 

McLovin is trying to make a fake ID using his highschool photocopier. Photocopiers work by using electric forces to get ink to bind to paper. Let's assume that each ink particle has a weight of one nano-Newton and has a charge of 3.3x10 (it's attracted to a paper particle with opposite but equal charge). About how close must the ink particle get to the paper to create an electrostatic force equal to the weight of the ink particle so that it binds to the paper and McLovin can have his fake ID.
