    The geometry of the string gives us the geometry of the forces:

    tanΘ = electrostatic force / weight

    So, you're missing some data here. First, you need the mass of the ball in order to calculate the weight.

    Second, you need the field strength (F = q*E where E is the field).

    If you can take it from here, great; if not, please update your question with more data. Hope this helps!
