Pointed at earth from k2 it would be useless. But a similar diameter in the same orbit as current spy satelites may be able to resolve objects 1/3 of the size.

But a similar diameter in the same orbit as current spy satelites may be able to resolve objects 1/3 of the size. If OP is correct about 10cm, that would place it at around 3.7cm.
It still is incredibly poor compared to what a high flying aircraft could capture, much less a drone spraying chemicals.
