Two point charges of mass m each are suspended in the gravitational field of the Earth by two non-conducting massless strings, each of length 1, attached to the same fixed point. The spheres are given equal charges Q of the same sign. As a result each string makes angle a to the vertical (see figure below). Write down an expression for the tension of a string T in terms of Coulomb force Fc between the charges and the angle a. Use the following notation (without the quotes): "/" for division, "*" for multiplication, "+" an "_" as usual. For powers used "^2", while for square root use "sqrt". To indicate that square root applies to the whole expression use brackets - for example, for √AB use sqrt(A*B). For Greek letters such as л, α etc. use pi, alpha. For example to get 14√AB use 1/pi*A^2/B*sqrt(AB). Please use the exact variables given in the conditions of the problem: e.g if L is given, then do not use 1. For subscripts such as Fc simply write "FC" (without the quotes). Please use…

A small metal sphere carrying a net charge of Q = -2.00 uC is held stationary by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere with a net charge of Q 2 = +7.80 uC and mass 1.50 g is is held 0.8 m away from the center of the first sphere. Assume the two spheres can be treated as point charges and that you can ignore gravity. If the second sphere is released, how fast will it be traveling when it is 0.6 m away from the center of the first sphere?
