Answer:
The separation distance is 
Explanation:
The mass of each ball is 
The negative charge of each ball is 
Since the lower ball is prevented from moving, it indicates that the net force acting on it equals zero.
This means that the gravitational force exerted on the lower ball balances the electrostatic force, represented as:

=> 
where k denotes Coulomb's constant, valued at
.
Thus,
![0.01 * 9.8 = \frac{ 9*10^9 *[1*10^{-6} * 1*10^{-6}]}{d}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.01%20%2A%209.8%20%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%209%2A10%5E9%20%2A%5B1%2A10%5E%7B-6%7D%20%2A%201%2A10%5E%7B-6%7D%5D%7D%7Bd%7D)
