To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the setup Two identical pith balls are charged and suspended from a horizontal rod. The length of the strings is 20 cm, the distance between the suspension points is 5 cm, and the distance between the balls in equilibrium is 3 cm. The charge on each ball is \( Q = 2.0 \times 10^{-8} \, C \). ### Step 2: Calculate the electrostatic force between the balls Using Coulomb's law, the electrostatic force \( F \) between the two charged balls is given by: ...
