To solve the problem step-by-step, we will analyze the forces acting on particle B and apply the principles of equilibrium and trigonometry. ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have two charged particles, A and B, both with a charge of \( q = 5.0 \times 10^{-7} \, C \). Particle A is fixed on a vertical wall, while particle B is suspended by a silk thread of length \( L = 30 \, cm = 0.3 \, m \) from a point 30 cm above particle A. The distance between the two charges is \( d = 60 \, cm = 0.6 \, m \) when B is in equilibrium. ### Step 2: Identify Forces Acting on Particle B In equilibrium, the forces acting on particle B are: 1. The gravitational force \( F_g = mg \) acting downward. ...
