(2) Charged pith balls hang from strings and repel each other as shown in the photograph. Assume the pith balls have equal mass and equal negative electric charge. The mass of each pith ball is 0.30 + 0.01 grams. The length of one string is 6.0 cm + 0.2 cm. The half-opening angle is 10° t 1°. (a) Estimate the number of excess electrons on one pith ball, include an estimate of the uncertainty in that number. Suggestion: start by...
86.. Two small plastic balls hang from threads of negligible mass. Each ball has a mass of 0.22 g and a charge of magnitude q. The balls are attracted to each other, and the threads attached to the balls make an angle of 20.0 with the vertical, as shown in electric force acting on each ball, (b) the tension in each of the threads, and (c) the magnitude of the charge on the balls. . Find (a) the magnitude of...
