Homework Statement
The charge on two pith balls can be calculated by knowing their masses and observing the angle of separation between the balls.
If both balls are equally charged and they are suspended by strings that are 1.0 m long, calculate that charge.
Homework Equations
F = k q Q / d^2
The Attempt at a Solution
fnet=kqQ/d^2
ma=kq^2/d^2 (both q's are the same)
Im a bit stuck here because i don't know how to find the acceleration. Thank you!
