    Find the Capacitance when the switch is closed

    I've solve it Q=q1+q2 if q1=12,000 30,000-12,000=q2 q2=18,000 so C=q2/v C=450uF

    Moment of Inertia for a uniform wire

    Actually I think I figured out B. Iz=Ix+Iy By symmetry Ix=Iy So 2Ix=Iz Iz=Md^2/4 Ix=1/2Iz Iz=md^2/8 Is this correct?
