On a very unrealistically staticky day, Zoey decides to try to hold up the weight of her body by grabbing onto a balloon she rubbed on her head. She rubs it on her head and then holds it up to the ceiling and lets the force of static electricity between the balloon and the ceiling hold her up. If Zoey weighs 700N and the charge on the balloon is 1.5 x 10-9 C and the balloon is 4.0 x 10 3 m away from the ceiling's charge, then what must the charge on the ceiling be to be able to create a force of electricity equal to Zoey's weight?
