The smallest shift you can reliably measure on the screen is about 0.2 grid units. This shift corresponds to the precision of positions measured with the best Earth-based optical telescopes. If you cannot measure an angle smaller than this, what is the maximum distance at which a star can be located and still have a measurable parallax

The distance is  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

        The smallest shift is

Generally a grid unit is   of  an arcsec

  This implies that  0.2 grid unit is  

The maximum distance at which a star can be located and still have a measurable parallax is mathematically represented as

substituting values

Note  

So  

two charges are fixed in place on the x-axis as shown. the charge at x = 0 is negative and has magnitude q = 2 μcoulombs (1 μcoulomb = 10-6 coulombs). the charge at x = d, (d = +12 cm), is positive and has magnitude q = 4 μcoulombs. find a point x = xo along the x-axis at which the electric field is zero.
