(b) 22.8 MN/C

(c) 6.1 MN/C

(d) 0.63 MN/C

Explanation:

The general expression for electric field along axis of a uniformly charged ring is:

E = kqL/(L² + r²)^(3/2)

where,

E = Electric Field Strength = ?

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q = Total Charge = 71 μC = 71 x 10⁻⁶ C

L = Distance from center on axis

r = radius of ring = 10 cm = 0.1 m

(a)

L = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Therefore,

E = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)(71 x 10⁻⁶ C)(0.01 m)/[(0.01 m)² + (0.1 m)²]^(3/2)

E = (6390 N.m³/C)/(0.00101 m³)

E =  6.3 x 10⁶ N/C = 6.3 MN/C

(b)

L = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Therefore,

E = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)(71 x 10⁻⁶ C)(0.05 m)/[(0.05 m)² + (0.1 m)²]^(3/2)

E = (31950 N.m³/C)/(0.00139 m³)

E =  22.8 x 10⁶ N/C = 27.4 MN/C

(c)

L = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Therefore,

E = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)(71 x 10⁻⁶ C)(0.3 m)/[(0.3 m)² + (0.1 m)²]^(3/2)

E = (191700 N.m³/C)/(0.03162 m³)

E =  6.1 x 10⁶ N/C = 6.1 MN/C

(d)

L = 100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

E = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)(71 x 10⁻⁶ C)(1 m)/[(1 m)² + (0.1 m)²]^(3/2)

E = (639000 N.m³/C)/(1.015 m³)

E =  0.63 x 10⁶ N/C = 0.63 MN/C

depends on what you mean by "group." for order, it would be coleoptera (beetles). for class, it would be insecta (insects). for phylum, it would be the arthropoda (animals with jointed exoskeletons).
