Question

Assume a balloon is hanging at an angle of 15.0 (theta) to the vertical because there is a tiny charged object (to the right of it) sufficiently close to it that causes it to hang at this angle. The mass of the balloon is 2.75 grams and the string it's hanging from is 1.5 meters. The balloon has 275 trillion electrons.

Given the above details: (Please show all steps clearly)

a) If the center to center distance between the balloon and the tiny charged object is 0.75m, to 3 sig figs What is the charge on the tiny charged object?

b) What is the magnitude of the electric field at the location where the tiny charged object used to be?
