Answer

$F=8.99\times10^{-19}N$

Work Step by Step

For identical spherical water drops $q_1=q_2$ Thus from coulomb's law, we have $F=\frac{q^2}{4\pi{\epsilon_{\circ}}r^2}$ putting the values $F=\frac{(1.0\times10^{-16})^2}{4(3.14)(8.854\times10^{-12})(1.0\times10^{-2}m)^{2}}$ $F=8.99\times10^{-19}N$
