Problem

A fixed non conducting smooth track is in the shape of a quarter circle of radius RR in vertical plane. A small metal ball AA is fixed at the bottom of the track. Another identical ball BB, which is free to move, is placed in contact with ball AA. A charge QQ is given to ball AA which gets equally shared by the two balls. Ball BB gets repelled and ultimately comes to rest in its equilibrium position where its radius vector makes an angle θ\theta (θ<90∘\theta < 90^\circ) with vertical. Mass of ball is mm. Find charge QQ that was given to the balls. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/PROD/homework-question-parsing/marker/3375ba405c594b7d9b6450f6ce2ca6d7/df9ce5affceb4ff1e9e8fd8e3ff0c1bd_img.jpg)
