Expert Solution
Step 1: GIVEN DATA

A small sphere of charge q = +65 μC = 65x10-6 C.

The mass of the sphere of charge is m = 5.3 g = 5.3x10-3 kg.

The angle made by the uniform electric field E with the horizontal is θ = 38ο.

The sphere is attached to the wall and it is in static equilibrium.

Assume the tension in the string is denoted by T.

Assume the acceleration due to gravity of Earth as g = 9.80 m/s2.
