A computer hard drive is accidentally dropped on the ground. When it hits the ground, it comes to a stop by decelerating rapidly. Over the course of this deceleration, as its case crumples, its centre of mass moves 2 mm. Assume that the deceleration is constant throughout this process. If the hard drive is rated to withstand an acceleration of 100g without damage, calculate the maximum height from which it can be dropped without destroying it.
