Also, I apologize for posting this in the mathematics department rather than the physics one. I didn't seem to be getting any feedback, so I figured there would be some electricity fanatics in the general math section that could help me out. Any help would be appreciated! 

I'm not exactly sure about (a). But isn't (b) simply mg? Or do I have to factor in the positive charge somehow? Including that piece information specifically at (b). didn't make sense to me. 
(c). I know that electric force due to a field on a particle is F=kQq/r^2. But in this scenario I'm a bit confused because I'm not given a certain distance and I only have one charge.
(d). Could I solve this part simply by using F=ma once I calculate the F from part (c)
