A small 5.48 g plastic ball is suspended by a
24.7 cm long string in a uniform electric field
of 3980 N/C, as shown.The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 , and
the Coulomb constant is 8.99×109 N · m2/C2..
If the ball is in equilibrium when the string
makes a 27.6◦ angle with the vertical as indi-
cated, what is the net charge on the ball?
Answer in units of μC.
This is how i did it.
q= m*g*tanz/e
q= 24.7e-3 * 9.81*tan 24.7 / 3980
q= 31.79545474
Please tell me what is wrong or if i am using the wrong formula
