Subjective Type

Two identical balls, each having a charge of $$2.00\times 10^{-7}$$C and a mass of $$100$$g, are suspended from a common point by two insulating strings each $$50$$ cm long. The balls are held at a separation $$5.0$$cm apart and the released. Find the components of the resultant force on it along and perpendicular to the string. Answer is to be obtained only for the instant just after the release.
