Answer: The first one
Explanation: I think it's the first one because it says what is the "least" gravitational potential energy story between the prairie dog and Earth that said resting in its borrow is using less energy
(a) The plastic rod has a length of L=1.3m. If we divide by 8, we get the length of each piece:

(b) The center of the rod is located at x=0. This means we have 4 pieces of the rod on the negative side of x-axis, and 4 pieces on the positive side. So, starting from x=0 and going towards positive direction, we have: piece 5, piece 6, piece 7 and piece 8. Each piece is 0.1625 m long. Therefore, the center of piece 5 is at 0.1625m/2=0.0812 m. And the center of piece 6 will be shifted by 0.1625m with respect to this:

(c) The total charge is

. To get the charge on each piece, we should divide this value by 8, the number of pieces:

(d) We have to calculate the electric field at x=0.7 generated by piece 6. The charge on piece 6 is the value calculated at point (c):

If we approximate piece 6 as a single charge, the electric field is given by

where

and d is the distance between the charge (center of piece 6, located at 0.2437m) and point a (located at x=0.7m). Therefore we have

poiting towards the center of piece 6, since the charge is negative.
(e) missing details on this question.
