(a) A physics lab instructor is working on a new demonstration. She attaches two identical copper globes with mass $m = 0.210$ g to filaments of length $L$ as shown in the figure. Both globes have the same charge of 6.40 nC, and are in static equilibrium when $\theta = 4.50^\circ$. What is $L$ (in m)? Assume the filaments are massless. m (b) What If? The charge on both globes is increased until each filament makes an angle of $\theta = 9.00^\circ$ with the vertical. If both globes have the same electric charge, what is the charge (in nC) on each globe in this case? nC

(a) A physics lab instructor is working on a new demonstration. She attaches two identical copper globes with mass m = 0.190 g to filaments of length L as shown in the figure. Both globes have the same charge of 7.60 nC, and are in static equilibrium when θ = 5.45°. What is L (in m)? Assume the filaments are massless. (b) What If? The charge on both globes is increased until each filament makes an angle of θ = 10.9° with the vertical. If both globes have the same electric charge, what is the charge (in nC) on each globe in this case?

A physics lab instructor is working on a new demonstration. She attaches two identical conducting globes with mass m = 0.180 g to strings of length L as shown in the figure. Both globes have the same charge of 8.00 nC and are in static equilibrium when θ = 5.45°. What is L (in m)? Assume the strings are massless.

Physics lab instructor is working on a new demonstration. She attaches two identical conducting globes with mass 0.220 kg to threads of length L as shown in the figure: Both globes have the same charge of 6.80 nC and are in static equilibrium when θ = 5.050°. What is L (in m)? Assume the threads are massless. What If? The charge on both globes is increased until each thread makes an angle of θ = 10.17° with the vertical. If both globes have the same electric charge, what is the charge (in nC) on each globe in this case?
