Two 2.3-gram ping pong balls hang suspended, with the balls just touching when they hang from a common support. Each ball's center is initially 60 cm below the support. The balls are then each given an identical amount of charge q, and each string makes an angle of 15 with the ver- tical, as shown in Figure GP15.94. Find the magnitude of the charge q. 0.60 m 15 15 1 +qiq+ FIGURE GP15.94 0.60 m Two 2.3-gram ping pong balls hang suspended, with the balls just touching when they hang from a common support.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To find the magnitude of the electric charge q on each of the ping pong balls we can consider the forces acting on the balls in equilibrium There are ... View the full answer
