Q1. Two small charged spheres at the end of an insulating cord of length 1 are observed to be in equilibrium as shown in Fig. The wires make small angles 01 and 02 with the vertical. (a) If the ratio of masses of the spheres m1/m2=2 and Q1=Q and Q2=2Q, determine the ratio 01/02. (b) Determine the distance between the charged spheres. (For small angles you can use sin0xtan0 0)

Question
Q1. Two small charged spheres at the end of an
insulating cord of length 1 are observed to be in
equilibrium as shown in Fig. The wires make small
angles 01 and 0O2 with the vertical. (a) If the ratio of
masses of the spheres m1/m2=2 and Qı=Q and Q2=2Q,
determine the ratio 01/02. (b) Determine the distance
between the charged spheres. (For small angles you
can use sin0stan0×0)
