Two equal positive point charges are separated by a distance $2 a$. The distance of a point from the centre of the line joining two charges on the equatorial line (perpendicular bisector) at which force experienced by a test charge $q_0$ becomes maximum is $\frac{a}{\sqrt{x}}$. The value of $x$ is $................$

Two small spherical balls each carrying a charge $Q = 10\,\mu C$ ($10\, micro-coulomb$) are suspended by two insulating threads of equal lengths $3\, m$ each, from a point fixed in the ceiling. It is found that in equilibrium threads are separated by an angle $120^o$ between them, as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the threads (Given : $\frac{1}{{\left( {4\pi {\varepsilon _0}} \right)}} = 9 \times {10^9}\,Nm/{C^2}$)
