Answer:
The rod`s charge must be positive, because the gravity force is pointing downwards and the electrostatic force must be pointing upwards (in order to balance the gravity force)
The charge is q_2 = 1.667 times 10^(-7) C
Explanation:
F_e = F_g
where F_g = m g and F_e= (1/4 pi e_0)*(q_1*q_2)/d^2,

The area under the acceleration time graph represents change in velocity
The graph is plotted with acceleration on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. The area under such graph represents change in velocity
