Two particles a and b have equal masses of 1.6g and charges of equal value, but with opposite signs. particle b is fixed in space and particle a is hung from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass as shown in the figure. When the two particles are separated by a distance of 0.25 m, the particle a is in equilibrium and the thread forms an angle of 30 degrees with the vertical. Calculate: a) The tension of the thread, b) The force of attraction between the particles, c) the value one of the charge of the particles.
