Thanks again for all your help! This forum is very helpful to fully understand where I am going wrong.

Thanks for your help. Changing my coordinate system makes the whole problem much easier.

Sorry, when you said "That's wrong," I thought you meant that I got the direction, as in I used the wrong trig function.

Thanks. I didn't know that.

It wasn't that I was sloppy. I commonly leave the C on the outer edge of my equations because C cannot loss its generality. But it definitely reminded me to use the generality to my advantage. Thank you to Dick and yourself for helping students with their problems.

I definitely want -1/C. Thank you for helping me figure it out. I knew it was something small but I couldn't see it.

I'm resolving along the y-axis (vertical). If you look at the photo, I think it is right.

So my new equation would be mg = Fe(sin(t)) + N. I'm confused as to where to go from here. What did you mean by "set up the vector decomposition differently."

Homework Statement A single charge q1 = 1.10E-7 C is fixed at the base of a plane that makes an angle theta with the horizontal direction. A small ball of mass m = 1.75 g and a charge q2 = 3.30E-8 C is placed into a smooth frictionless groove in the plane that extends directly to the fixed...
