Problem P. 3988. (May 2007)

P. 3988. A small charged bead of mass m and of charge q can move on a frictionless horizontal rod. A pointlike charge Q whose charge is opposite the charge on the bead, is fixed at a point which is at a distance of d from the rod. The bead is a bit displaced from its equilibrium position and then released. Find the period of the resulted oscillatory motion.

Data: Q=10^-8 C, q=-10^-8 C, m=1 g, d=10 cm.
