A solid sphere of radius R carries a charge Q+q distributed uniformly over its volume. A very small point-like piece of it of mass m gets detached from the bottom of the sphere and falls down vertically under gravity. This piece carries charge q. If it acquires a speed v when it has fallen through a vertical height y (see figure), then (assume the remaining portion to be spherical)
