Two pith balls carrying equal charges are suspended from a common point by strings of equal length, the equilibrium separation between them is r (as shown in Fig. I). Now, as shown in Fig. II, the strings are rigidly clamped at half the height. The equilibrium separation between the balls now becomes:
     
1. r23
2. r22
3. 2r3
4. none of the above

Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths l, are initially at a distance d (dl) apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result, the spheres approach each other with a velocity v. Then, v varies as a function of the distance x between the sphere, as:
1. vx
2. vx1/2
3. vx1
4. vx1/2
