Physics

There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheresfixed in space. The spheres are 41.0 cm apart (center to center)and repel each other with an electrostatic force of F1 = 0.0600 N.Then, a thin conducting wire connects the spheres, redistributingthe charge on each sphere. When the wire is removed the spheresstill repel but with a force of F2 = 0.115 N. Using thisinformation, find the initial charge on each sphere, q1 and q2 ifinitially q1
