Two identical pith balls are charged by rubbing against each other. they are suspended from a horizontal rod through two strings of length 20 cm each, the separation between the suspension points being 5 cm. In equilibrium, the sepaation between the balls is 3 cm. Find the mass of each ball and the tension in the stirngs. The charge on each ball ahs a magnitude $2.0 \times 10^{- 8}$ C.

Two small spheres, each having a mass of 20 g, are suspended from a common point by two insultating strings of length 40 cm each. The spehres are identically charged and the separation between the balls at equilibrium is found to be 4 cm. Find the charge on each spehere.

Two identical pith balls, each carrying a charge q, are suspended from a common point by two strings of equal length l. Find the mass of each ball if the angle between the strings is $2 θ$ in equilibrium.
