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. \(\frac{r}{\sqrt[3]{2}}\)
2. \(\frac{r}{\sqrt[2]{2}}\)
3. \(\frac{2r}{3}\)
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 \(d\) \(\left ( d\ll l \right )\) 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. \(v\propto x\)
2. \(v\propto x^{-1/2}\)
3. \(v\propto x^{-1}\)
4. \(v\propto x^{1/2}\)
