A. Both the spheres are neutral.
B. The left sphere is negatively charged, the right sphere is charged positively.
C. The right sphere is negatively charged, the left sphere is charged positively.

Answer:

The right sphere is negatively charged, the left sphere is charged positively.

Explanation:

When a negatively charged rod is held above the top of left sphere, the rod will attract positive charges and repel negative charges. As the sphere are initially touching each other so positive charges from the both spheres will moves toward the rod. When we separate the spheres positive charges from right sphere have already moved toward the rod i.e. left sphere, creating a deficiency of positive charges in the right sphere and excessiveness of positive charges in left sphere , hence the right sphere will remain negatively charged and left sphere will remain positively charged.

Solution:
(a) The work done by the spring is given by
W= \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2 &#10;
where k is the elastic constant of the spring and \Delta x is the stretch between the initial and final position. Since x1=-8 in=-0.203 m and x2=5 in=0.127 m, we have
W= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 500 N/m \cdot (0.127m-(-0.203m))^2=27.25 J

(b) The work done by the weight is the product of the component of the weight parallel to the inclined plane and the displacement of the cart:
W_W = -F_{//} (x_2 -x_1)
where  the negative sign is given by the fact that F_{//} points in the opposite direction of the displacement of the cart, and where
F_{//}=m g sin 15^{\circ}=6 kg \cdot 9.81m/s^2 \cdot sin 15^{\circ}=15.2 N
therefore, the work done by the weight is
W_W=-15.2 N \cdot (0.203m-(-0.127m))=-5.02 J
