Two small insulating spheres are attached to silk threads. The spheres have equal masses of 40 g and have electric charges of q_(1)=+2.0 muC and q_(2)=-2.0 mu C . The spheres are brought into the initial positions shown in Figure(a), with a vertical separation of 15 cm between them. In figure, the upper thread is slowly pulled upward, while point B is kept fixed. When point a has been raised through a height h, the lower sphere suddenly falls, as shown in Figure (b). The height h, is closest to:
