Textbook Question

Chapter 25, Problem 25.74CP

Four balls, each with mass m, are connected by four nonconducting strings to form a square with side a as shown in Figure P25.74. The assembly is placed on a nonconducting. frictionless. horizontal surface. Balls 1 and 2 each have charge q, and balls 3 and 4 are uncharged. After the string connecting halls 1 and 2 is cut, what is the maximum speed of balls 3 and 4?
