f q₁ is the charge on the first sphere, the potential at its surface is: 
V₁ = kq₁/r₁ 
q₁ = V₁r₁/k 

Similarly for the 2nd sphere: 
q₂ = V₂r₂/k 

If the centres of the spheres are a distance d apart the force between the spheres is: 
F = kq₁q₂/d² 
= k(V₁r₁/k)(V₂r₂/k)/d² 
= V₁r₁V₂r₂/(kd²) 

Since V₁ = V₂ (=V) this becomes: 
F = V²r₁r₂/(kd²) 

Just stick the values in (remember distances must be converted to metres).
