Homework Statement
An electric field E=141000.0i N/C causes the 4.70 g ball in the picture to hang at a α=22.9° angle. What is the charge on the ball?
Homework Equations
E=(1/4pieE)*(q/r^2)

I tried solving this question first by drawing a force diagram on...
i still don't get it ... damn.. =(...
im really a physics noob
*shouldn;t it be Tsin(theta) =mg and TCos(theta) =mv^2/R?
*How would u get the acceleration even u have these 2 equations? since you would need the acceleration to figure out the theta, then to figure out the velocity ...
Hi first of all thankyou so much for replying this post,
since I'm actually not very bright in physics,
would you mind further clarifying your method of approach? (ie how would you get acceleration in the first place without using forces?)
thankyou
