Two identical blocks resting on a frictionless, horizontal surface are connected by a light spring having a spring constant k and an unstretched length Li as shown in Figure P2.39a. A charge Q is slowly placed on each block, causing the spring to stretch to an equilibrium length L as shown in Figure P22.39b. Determine the value of Q, modeling the blocks as charged particles.
