| - | ==== Project 2B: Building Stormchaser HQ ==== | ||
| - | You are part of a secret organization that sends task forces to investigate strange phenomenon. The name of your particular task force is S.P.A.R.T.A.N force. Your team has been sent to investigate an abnormal storm system that has encapsulated the town of Lakeview. You and your team are racing to be on the frontline to investigate this new system and as you speed toward Lakeview you receive a call from a group of scientists working at Stormchaser HQ. They explain that they have built their new base of operations (HQ) 2 km away from the mountains, which typically gather large clouds (on average, $m=1*10^9 kg$ and $q=-150 C$) to the west of the HQ. The Lakeview scientists have calibrated the equipment on top of HQ to deal with the electric potential from the large clouds, but they are concerned about an incoming storm system that is displaying abnormal qualities. As much as they would love to collect data on this storm, if the electric potential changes by more 20 MV due to the additional clouds, the equipment will be damaged. They have received reports that the storm system is heading toward HQ from the eastern plains (where the wind can last up to 20 minutes and exert a force of 36000 N) with a mass around $m=3*10^5 kg$ and a charge between $-50 C$ and $-60 C$.
