Coulomb's Law: in the Figure, a Small Spherical Insulator of Mass

Question 31

Multiple Choice

Coulomb's law: In the figure, a small spherical insulator of mass 6.00 × 10-2 kg and charge +0.400 μC is hung by a thin wire of negligible mass. A charge of -0.220 μC is held 0.290 m away from the sphere and directly to the right of it, so the wire makes an angle θ with the vertical, as shown. What is the angle θ? (k = 1/4πε0 = 8.99 × 109 N ∙ m2/C2) Coulomb's law: In the figure, a small spherical insulator of mass 6.00 × 10<sup>-2</sup> kg and charge +0.400 μC is hung by a thin wire of negligible mass.
