Need Help. Thanks

1. An insulating disk with radius R carries uniformly distributed positive charge. A point charge Q
with mass m is held in place on the axis of the disk distance d from its center. The net electric
field is zero at the midpoint between the point charge and the disk.
a) Find a symbolic expression for the surface charge density of the disk, o, in terms of Q, R, d,
and any necessary constants. (You do not need to derive the electric field of a disk. See
equation sheet.)
b) If the point charge Q is now released from rest, what would its kinetic energy be when it is
distance 2d away from the disk? You can ignore gravity force. Your answer should be in terms of
o, Q, R, d, and any necessary constants.
