Answer:

F = \frac{4kqQb}{(b^2 + \frac{d^2}{2})^{1.5}}

Explanation:

Since all the four charges are equidistant from the position of Q

so here we can assume this charge distribution to be uniform same as that of a ring

so here electric field due to ring on its axis is given as

E = \frac{k(4q)x}{(x^2 + R^2)^{1.5}}

here we have

x = b

and the radius of equivalent ring is given as the distance of each corner to the center of square

R = \frac{d}{\sqrt2}

now we have

E = \frac{4kq b}{(b^2 + \frac{d^2}{2})^{1.5}}

so the force on the charge is given as

F = QE

F = \frac{4kqQb}{(b^2 + \frac{d^2}{2})^{1.5}}

A small child has a wagon with a mass of 10 kilograms. The child pulls on the wagon with a force of
Sholpan [36]
F=ma
where:
F - force
m - mass
a - acceleration 

We transform this formula to get a:
a= \frac{F}{m}
a=\frac{2}{10}\frac{N}{kg}=0.2\frac{m}{s^{2}}
