Two positively charged spheres of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are suspended from a common point at the ceiling by identical insulating massless strings of length $l$. Charges on the two spheres are $q_1$ and $q_2$, respectively. At equilibrium, both strings make the same angle $\theta$ with the vertical. Then

Two insulated charged copper spheres $A$ and $B$ have their centres separated by a distance of $50 \;cm$.  the charge on each is $6.5 \times 10^{-7}\; C?$ Suppose the spheres $A$ and $B$ have identical sizes.A third sphere of the same size but uncharged is brought in contact with the first, then brought in contact with the second, and finally removed from both. What is the new force of repulsion between $A$ and $B?$

Two spherical, nonconducting, and very thin shells of uniformly distributed positive charge $Q$ and radius d are located a distance $10d$ from each other. A positive point charge $q$ is placed inside one of the shells at a distance $d/2$ from the center, on the line connecting the centers of the two shells, as shown in the figure. What is the net force on the charge $q $ ?
