To find the mass of each pith ball suspended at an angle of \(2\theta\) in equilibrium, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry We have two identical pith balls, each carrying a charge \(q\), suspended from a common point by strings of equal length \(l\). The angle between the strings is \(2\theta\). This means each string makes an angle \(\theta\) with the vertical. ### Step 2: Identify Forces Acting on the Balls Each ball experiences three forces: 1. Tension \(T\) in the string. ...
