Four balls, each with mass m, are connected by four non-conducting strings to form a square with side a, as shown in Figure P25.64. The assembly is placed on a horizontal non-conducting frictionless surface. Balls 1 and 2 each have charge q, and balls 3 and 4 are uncharged. Find the maximum speed of balls 1 and 2 after the string connecting them is cut.
