To solve the problem of finding the magnitude of the charge on each of the two identical small charged spheres hanging in equilibrium, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces Acting on the Spheres:** Each sphere experiences three main forces: - The gravitational force (weight) acting downward: \( F_g = mg \) - The tension in the string (\( T \)) acting along the string at an angle \( \theta \) to the vertical. ...
