Answer:

where E = electric field intensity
Explanation:
As we know that plastic ball is suspended by a string which makes 30 degree angle with the vertical
So here force due to electrostatic force on the charged ball is in horizontal direction along the direction of electric field
while weight of the ball is vertically downwards
so here we have


since string makes 30 degree angle with the vertical so we will have





where E = electric field intensity
let the distance of pillar is "r" from one end of the slab
So here net torque must be balance with respect to pillar to be in balanced state
So here we will have

here we know that
mg = 19600 N
Mg = 400,000 N
L = 20 m
from above equation we have



so pillar is at distance 10.098 m from one end of the slab
Theories are usually backed up with a lot of evidence. If the evidence is well studied then it is useful information.
