A piece of electronic equipment that is surrounded by packing material is dropped so that it hits the ground with a speed of 4 m/s. After impact, the equipment experiences an acceleration of a = 2kx, where k is a constant and x is the compression of the packing material. If the packing material experiences a maximum compression of 20 mm, determine the maximum acceleration of the equipment.

Four point charges each having charge q are located at the corners of a square having sides of length a. find symbolic expressions for the following.
