Just need answer please type it. Please put the answer by 2 significant digit ---**Your answer is partially correct.**In the figure, a small, nonconducting ball of mass \( m = 1.5 \, \text{mg} \) and charge \( q = 2.9 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{C} \) (distributed uniformly through its volume) hangs from an insulating thread that makes an angle \( \theta = 41^\circ \) with a vertical, uniformly charged nonconducting sheet (shown in cross section). Considering the gravitational force on the ball and assuming the sheet extends far vertically and into and out of the page, calculate the surface charge density \( \sigma \) of the sheet.![Physics diagram illustrating a hanging charged ball](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/random_image_url)Number: **7.8**Units: \( \text{C/m}^2 \)---### Diagram Explanation:The diagram associated with the problem shows:- A vertical, uniformly charged nonconducting sheet depicted as a green solid line.- The sheet extends vertically and into and out of the page. - An insulating thread is attached to a small, nonconducting ball.- The thread forms an angle \( \theta = 41^\circ \) with the vertical line representing the sheet.- The ball has a given mass \( m = 1.5 \, \text{mg} \) and charge \( q = 2.9 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{C} \).- The forces acting on the ball would include the gravitational force pointing downward and the electrostatic force due to the charged sheet.This scenario sets up a physics problem where we need to balance the forces acting on the ball to find the surface charge density \( \sigma \) of the sheet that maintains the ball in equilibrium at the given angle.For any further calculations, students usually need to apply principles from electrostatics and mechanics such as Coulomb's Law, the definition of surface charge density, and trigonometric relationships to solve for \( \sigma \).

Review. A light, unstressed spring has length d. Two identical particles, each with charge q, are connected to the opposite ends of the spring. The particles are held stationary a distance d apart and then released at the same moment. The system then oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal table. The spring has a bit of internal kinetic friction, so the oscillation is damped. The particles eventually stop vibrating when the distance between them is 3d. Assume the system of the spring and two charged particles is isolated. Find the increase in internal energy that appears in the spring during the oscillations.
There are very large numbers of charged particles in most objects. Why, then, don't most objects exhibit static electricity?
