Homework Statement
Two metal balls A and B of negligible radius are floating at rest on Space Station Freedom between two metal bulkheads, connected by a taut nonconducting thread of length 1.30 m. Ball A carries charge q, and ball B carries charge 2q. Each ball is 1.66 m away from a bulkhead.
(a) If the tension in the string is 4.00 N, what is the magnitude of q?
(b)What happens to this system as time passes ?
Homework Equations
F=Ke q1xq2 / x2
The Attempt at a Solution
I have gotten as far as finding the magnitude of q, which i got 1.94 x 105 C
Is that right ?
I am confused as to what this system might do over time ?
