A. Two charges are suspended by silk threads as shown. The mass of each is 0.250 grams and each carry the same amount of charge. Follow the steps below to determine the magnitude of the charge on each. 0 = 8° 1. Label all the forces acting on the ball on the diagram on the left. L = 0.20 m 2. Using the forces on your diagram determine the charge on the ball.
