A small plastic ball of mass 6.70×10-3 kg and charge +.0150 uC is suspended from an insulating thread and hangs between the plates of a capacitor. The ball is in equilibrium, with the thread making an angle of 30.0° with respect to the vertical. The area of each plate is 0.0200 m^2. What is the magnitude of the charge on each plate? (the picture shows the positive plate on the left, the ball leaning 30 deg toward the negative plate, and the negative plate on the right.
so i used E=q/(Eo)A which gave me 150000 C/(8.89e-12 c^2/Nm^2)(.0200 m^2)=8.44e17 N/C
what do i do from here? how do i incorporate the 30° and and the weight of the ball??
