You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0
cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and
hang a 1.6 g mass from it. This stretches the spring to a length of
5.0 cm. You then attach two small plastic beads to the opposite
ends of the spring, lay the spring on a frictionless table, and give
each plastic bead the same charge. This stretches the spring to a
length of 4.6 cm.
Part A
What is the magnitude of the charge (in nC) on each bead?
