Question

The ink drops have a mass mmm = 1.00×10−11 kg each and leave the nozzle and travel horizontally toward the paper at velocity v = 15.0 m/s. The drops pass through a charging unit that gives each drop a positive charge q by causing it to lose some electrons. The drops then pass between parallel deflecting plates of length D0D0D_0 = 2.15 cm, where there is a uniform vertical electric field with magnitude E = 7.70×104 N/C. 

1) If a drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.340 mmmm by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plate, what magnitude of charge q must be given to the drop? Assume that the density of the ink drop is 1000 kg/m3 , and ignore the effects of gravity.
