2. Four balls, each with mass \( m \), are connected by four nonconducting strings to form a square with side \( a \) as shown in Fig. 2. The assembly is placed on a nonconducting, friction-less, horizontal surface. Balls 1 and 2 each have charge \( q \), and balls 3 and 4 are uncharged. After the string connecting balls 1 and 2 is cut, what is the maximum speed of balls 1 and 2? (10 points)
