Two small charged balls of the same mass m = 0.1 kg are suspended at point O on two inextensible threads of the same length as the thread AB connecting them. After burning out the previously tensioned thread AB, the balls rise to a maximum height corresponding to the horizontal position of the threads AO and BO. Determine the thread tension in this position. Neglect the masses of the threads (made of insulating material).
