Physics

There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheresfixed in space. The spheres are 34.8 cm apart (center to center)and repel each other with an electrostatic force of ?1=0.0765 N . Athin conducting wire connects the spheres, redistributing thecharge on each sphere. When the wire is removed, the spheres stillrepel, but with a force of ?2=0.100 N . The Coulomb force constantis ?=1/(4??0)=8.99×109 N⋅m2/C2 . Using this information, find theinitial charge on each sphere, ?1 and ?2 , if ?1 is initially lessthan ?2 . find q1 and q2.
