Answer:

E = 9.4*10^{10}N/C

Explanation:

We use Gauss's law which says

$\int E\cdot dA = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\varepsilon}. $     (1)

Now, for the cylindrical charge distribution the charge enclosed is

Q_{enc} = \rho V

where V is the volume of the cylinder.

To evaluate Gauss's law, the Gaussian surface we choose is a cylinder concentric with the charged cylinder; therefore, equation  (1) becomes

E (2\pi rL )=\dfrac{\rho V}{\varepsilon _o}

E (2\pi rL )=\dfrac{\rho \pi R^2L}{\varepsilon _o}

E =\dfrac{\rho \pi R^2L}{ (2\pi rL )\varepsilon _o }

\boxed{E =\dfrac{\rho R^2}{ 2\varepsilon _o r }}

Putting in numerical values

\rho = 15C/m^3

R = 17cm =0.17m

r = 26cm=0.26m

\varepsilon_0 =8.85*10^{-12}m^{-3}kg^{-1}s^4A^2}

we get:

E =\dfrac{15 (0.17)^2}{ 2(8.85*10^{-12}) (0.26) }

\boxed{E = 9.4*10^{10}N/C}

Damm [24]
Ith air resistance acting on an object that has been dropped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 53 m/s (195 km/h or 122 mph) for a human skydiver. ... (On the Moon, the gravitational acceleration is much less than on Earth, approximately 1.6 m/s2.)
