A small mass charged sphere (q= 3 µC ) is attached by an insulating string to the surface of a very large conductor with a surface charge density of O = 45.4 µC. Given that the string makes an angle with the surface equal to 30 degrees, find the tension ( in N) in the string. use ɛo = %3D 8.8542x10-12 F:m-1.
