Okay that's what I did! I think I got it then, thank you so much!

Okay that helps a lot I think I have it then. I have three forces working on the mass, the electric field, gravity, and the string. Since it's in equilibrium, the force of the electric field is equal to the x component of the tension, and the force of gravity is equal to the y component of the...

I have a problem with a similar diagram and question, here it is: A 100-g mass is suspended by a string. there is a strictly horizontal electric field present in this region having strength of E = 200 N/C. If the magnitude of the charge on the ball is 5.8 microCoulombs, then determine the...
