You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and hang a 2.2 g mass from it. This stretches the spring to a length of 5.1 cm. You then attach two small plastic beads to the opposite ends of the spring, lay the spring on a frictionless table, and give each plastic bead the same charge. This stretches the spring to a length of 4.4 cm ▼ Part A What is the magnitude of the charge (in nC) on each bead? Express your answer using two significant figures.

A common demonstration involves charging a rubber balloon, which is an insulator, by rubbing it on your hair and then touching the balloon to a ceiling or wall, which is also an insulator. Because of the electrical attraction between the charged balloon and the neutral wall, the balloon slicks to the wall. Imagine now that we have two infinitely large, Hat sheets of insulating material. One is charged, and the other is neutral, lf these sheets are brought into contact, does an attractive force exist between them as there was for the balloon and the wall?
