Two point charges of mass m each are suspended in the gravitational field of the Earth by two non-conducting massless strings, each of length 1,attached to the same fixed point. The spheres are given equal charges Q of the same sign. As a result each string makes angle a to the vertical (seefigure below). Write down an expression for the tension of a string T in terms of the mass of a charge, the gravitational field strength g and the angleα.Use the following notation (without the quotes): "/" for division, "*" for multiplication, "+" an "-" as usual. For powers used "^2", while for square rootuse "sqrt". To indicate that square root applies to the whole expression use brackets-for example, for √AB use sqrt(A*B). For Greek letters such as, a etc. use pi, alpha. For example to get 14VAB use 1/pi*A^2/B*sqrt(AB). Please use the exact variables given in the conditions of the problem:e.gif L is given, then do not use 1. For subscripts such as Fc simply write "FC" (without the quotes).

Why is the following situation impossible? You set up an apparatus in your laboratory as follows. The x axis is the symmetry axis of a stationary, uniformly charged ring of radius R = 0.500 m and charge Q = 50.0 μC (as shown). You place a particle with charge Q = 50.0 μC and mass m = 0.100 kg at the center of the ring and arrange for it to be constrained to move only along the x axis. When it is displaced slightly, the particle is repelled by the ring and accelerates along the x axis. The particle moves faster than you expected and strikes the opposite wall of your laboratory at 40.0 m/s.
