Click For Summary
To calculate the force of tension and angle theta, the relevant equations include Coulomb's law for electric force and the gravitational force equation. The tangent of theta can be determined using the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle. The original poster seeks confirmation of their approach and expresses frustration over a lack of responses. They are willing to clarify their problem or explain their calculations further if needed.

Does anyone need me to explain the problem?
 
Is there a reason why no one is answering my question? Because if there is I will try to do something about it, whether it is to restate the problem, or explain my work.
