Problem 1E

A positively-charged sphere hangs from a string. The sphere is in a uniform electric field, directed to the left, with a magnitude of 1700 N/C. The string makes an angle of 20 degrees with the vertical. The charge on the sphere is 6.30 x 10-5 C.

What is the mass of the charged sphere?

Next problem : F - Current in a circuit.
