Homework Statement
Neutral metal sphere A, of mass 0.10kg hangs from an insulating wire 2.0m long. An identical metal sphere B, with charge -q, is brought into contact with sphere A. The spheres repel and settle(a picture just imagine a right angle triangle with 2 objects A and B at the bottom.) calculate the initial charge on B.

The Attempt at a Solution
Now, I have done the whole process but I just want to know what I am doing wrong with my calculator( we have done it in class) here was the last part of my solution: 16sin^3*12/9*10^9= q^2. OK so the answer was for this question was 4*10^-6 C = q. But everytime I input this in my calculator the answer becomes 0.000030433 or 3.04*10^-5
