the electric field of an infinite plane sheet of charge is constant and is independent of the distance from the sphere and is perpendicular to the plane. the force of gravity is also independent of distance, constant and normal to the plane. Thus both the forces are independent of the angle. Therefore, it is impossible to solve the problem using the the information given.
