Understanding Potential Between L & K Conductors

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between two conductor tables, L and K, where L is grounded and has a potential of zero. When a charged object is connected to conductor K, which has a charge Q, the balance between L and K is disrupted, necessitating the introduction of mass in N to maintain equilibrium. The inquiry revolves around determining the charge on conductor L and the reasoning behind it, with a consensus suggesting that L also possesses charge Q, although proof is sought.

L and K are two conductor tables, L is grounded (his potential is zero). In this situation the scales are balanced. To measure the charged object's potential, it is being connected to K with thin long conduct wire. just L and K are conductors. when the object is connected to K, L and K are pulling one to each other. In order to save the balance, there are mass in N.
lets say K has charge Q. I want to know what charge is there on L and Why.

I think it is also Q but i cannot prove it...
 
Someone...?
