Problem 1. Two small metallic spheres, each of mass m=0.300 g. are suspended as pendulums by light strings of length L as shown in the Figure. The spheres are given the same electric charge of 7.2 nC and they come to equilibrium when each string is at an angle of 0=5.00° with the vertical. How long are the strings?

In the ever popular game from the future, Electrodisc, players can score double points by pushing a disc into another disc with the electric field generated by a third disc. The discs are by regulation 1 kg. All discs have the same shape and are made of the same conducting material. In the figure below, disc 1 is held in place, and disc 2 is held stationary 3.7 m from disc 1 by a player. The player then releases disc 2. 10 m What is the initial magnitude of the acceleration imposed on the second disc? The charge on the first disc is 1.3 mC. The charge on the second disc is 1.7 mC.

Tyrone and Mia have masses of 84 kg and 59 kg respectively. They sit 1.0 m apart in the front center of Mr. H's Physics class. For some time, they each have been sensing a sort of electricity in their growing relationship. And now, six units into their Physics course, they have learned that they are gravitationally attracted to each other. Determine the magnitude of this force of gravitational attraction.
