Two small spheres each having mass m kg ...

Two small spheres each having mass m kg and charge q coulomb are suspended from a point by insultaing threads each l metre long but of negligible mass. If `theta` is the angle, each string makes with the vertical when equilibrium has been attained show that `q^2 = (4m g l^2 sin ^2 theta tan theta) 4 pi upsilon_0`
