Question: Three identical small Styrofoam balls ( m = 2.15g) are suspended from a fixed point by three nonconducting threads, each with a length of 51.1cm

Three identical small Styrofoam balls (m = 2.15g) are suspended from a fixed point by three nonconducting threads, each with a length of 51.1cm and with negligible mass. At equilibrium the three balls form an equilateral triangle with sides of 28.2cm. What is the common charge q carried by each ball?
