In a pith ball experiment, the two pith balls are at rest. The ball on the left has a charge of 6.8 x 106C, the ball on the right has a charge of 10.5 x 106 C. Each has a mass of 45 grams, they are 0.50 m apart, and the angle between each string and a
vertical line is 0 = 27.72°. What are the values for the magnitudes of the tension in each string, T, the gravitational force, Fy
and the electrostatic force, F?
• T=0.538 N; F, = 0.48 N; F = 0.242N
T = 0.297 N; F, = 0.192 N; F, = 0.227 N
T = 0.498 N; F, = 0.441 N; F = 0.232 N
T = 0.545 N; F = 0.49 N; F, = 0.55 N
