An electron is held up against the force of gravity by attraction of a fixed proton some distance above it. How far above the electron is the proton?

I donno what to do here? I have nothing to add or i would show my work. Can anyone help me get started.

Thanks

Find the point where the gravitational force between the electron and ground is equal to the electrostatic force between the proton and electron.
