How many H H eclipsing interactions would be present if cyclopentane were planar? Assuming an energy

Question:

How many H ↔ H eclipsing interactions would be present if cyclopentane were planar? Assuming an energy cost of 4.0kJ/mol for each eclipsing interaction, how much torsional strain would planar cyclopentane have? Since the measured total strain of cyclopentane is 26kJ/mol, how much of the torsional strain is relieved by puckering?
