# 5. Two tiny conducting balls of identical mass m and identical charge q hang from
nonconducting threads of length L. Assume that 0 is so small that tan @can be replaced by its
approximate equal, sin e. (a) Show that
1/3
x =
2nE, mg,
gives the equilibrium separation x of the balls. (b) If L=120 cm,m=10g, and x =5.0 cm, what is
