Question
Two small spheres each have a mass m of 0.400 g and are suspended as pendulums by light insulating strings from a common point, as shown in the figure below. The spheres are given the same electric charge, and the two come to equilibrium when each string is at an angle of θ= 4.00∘; with the vertical.
If each string is 1.00 m long, what is the magnitude of the charge on each sphere? (Express your answer to three significant figures.)

### Problem Description
Two small spheres each have a mass \( m \) of 0.400 g and are suspended as pendulums by light insulating strings from a common point, as shown in the figure below. The spheres are given the same electric charge, and the two come to equilibrium when each string is at an angle of
\[ \theta = 4.00^\circ \]
with the vertical.
---
### Diagram Explanation
**Diagram Description:**
- The diagram shows two identical spheres each with mass \( m \).
- Both spheres are hanging from a common point.
- Each sphere is attached to the common point by a light insulating string of length \( L \).
- The strings form angles \( \theta \) with the vertical, each having a value of \( 4.00^\circ \).
The diagram includes the following labels:
- \( L \): The length of the string from the common point to the sphere.
- \( \theta \), \( \theta \): The angles of the strings with respect to the vertical direction.
- \( m \), \( m \): Masses of the spheres.
