Physics Question from JEE Main 2025 · 2 April, Shift 1

A small bob of mass 100mg100 \, \text{mg} and charge +10μC+10 \, \mu\text{C} is connected to an insulating string of length 1m1 \, \text{m}. It is brought near to an infinitely long non-conducting sheet of charge density σ\sigma. If the string subtends an angle of 4545^\circ with the sheet at equilibrium, the charge density of the sheet will be:

(Given, ϵ0=8.85×1012F/m\epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{F/m} and acceleration due to gravity, g=10m/s2g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2)
