Answer:
at the beginning:
when the plates are pulled apart:
Explanation:
The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by
where
k is the relative permittivity of the medium (for air, k=1, so we can omit it)
is the permittivity of free space
A is the area of the plates of the capacitor
d is the separation between the plates
In this problem, we have:
is the area of the plates
is the separation between the plates at the beginning
Substituting into the formula, we find
Later, the plates are pulled apart to , so the capacitance becomes
The radius of the cylinder is equal to half the diameter:
The volume of the cylinder is given by:
where h is the heigth of the cylinder. Converting into meters,
And the density of the material will be given by the ratio between the mass and the volume:
