There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheres fixed in space. The spheres are 46.4 cm apart (center to center)
and repel each other with an electrostatic force of F₁ = 0.0720 N. A thin conducting wire connects the spheres, redistributing
the charge on each sphere. When the wire is removed, the spheres still repel, but with a force of F₂ = 0.115 N. The Coulomb
force constant is k = 1/(4лeo) = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C².
Using this information, find the initial charge on each sphere, 9₁ and 92, if q₁ is initially less than 92.
