Two small spherical balls each carrying a charge $Q = 10\,\mu C$ are suspended by two insulating threads of equal lengths $L = 3\, m$ each,from a point fixed in the ceiling. It is found that in equilibrium,the threads are separated by an angle of $120^{\circ}$ between them,as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the threads? (Given: $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9\, N\cdot m^2/C^2$)
