Eletrostatics: Coulomb's law

Q- Two tiny identical metal balls each of mass 10g and carrying equal positive charges are suspended from a point by “weightless” insulated strings each of 1m length. The balls repel each other and come to an equilibrium position with each string making an angle of 370 to the vertical.
(a) Draw a sketch of the arrangement and indicate all the forces acting.
(b) Find the tension in each string.

(c) Calculate the charge on each ball.
