Sara is preparing for her birthday party. She rubs three balloons with her wool scarf, then hangs them from the gate with string, as shown in the figure. The balloons repel, and she notices that from directly below, each balloon is at a vertex of a horizontal, equilateral triangle with sides equal to S = 32.7 cm. Each balloon has equal mass of m= 1.84 g and carries equal charge. You can model each balloon as a particle, with its center L = 49.5 cm from the point of support. What is the charge (in µC) on one balloon? 0.395 (i)

Two uncharged, conducting spheres are separated by a distance d. When charge −Q is moved from sphere A to sphere B, the Coulomb force between them has magnitude F0. Is the Coulomb force attractive or repulsive? If an additional charge −Q is moved from A to B, and the distance between the centres of the spheres is doubled, what is the ratio of the new Coulomb force to the original Coulomb force?

Two identical, small insulating balls are suspended by separate 0.21-m threads that are attached to a common point on the ceiling. Each ball has a mass of 7.7 × 10-4 kg. Initially the balls are uncharged and hang straight down. They are then given identical positive charges and, as a result, spread apart with an angle of 50° between the threads. Determine (a) the charge on each ball and (b) the tension in the threads. A F₁
