1. Volume = 4 pi R^3 / 3
and R = 1.95 x 10^-6 m
Volume = 3.106 x 10^-17 m^3
mass = density x volume
= (857 kg / m^3)(3.106 x 10^-17)
m = 2.662 x 10^-14 kg
so equlibrium. Fnet = Fe - fg = 0
q (1.36 x 10^5) = (2.662 x 10^-14) (9.81)
q = 1.92 x 10^-18 C
n = (1.92 x 10^-18) /(1.6 x 10^-19)
n = 12 ( no units)
2. Ex = Ey = - 605.854 N/C
