To solve the problem, we will analyze the forces acting on the two charged spheres and derive the required equation step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Forces Each sphere has a mass \( m \) and carries a charge \( +q \). The forces acting on each sphere are: - The gravitational force \( mg \) acting downwards. - The tension \( T \) in the thread acting upwards at an angle \( \theta \) with the vertical. - The electrostatic repulsive force \( F \) between the two spheres. ...
