(a) The plastic rod has a length of L=1.3m. If we divide by 8, we get the length of each piece:

(b) The center of the rod is located at x=0. This means we have 4 pieces of the rod on the negative side of x-axis, and 4 pieces on the positive side. So, starting from x=0 and going towards positive direction, we have: piece 5, piece 6, piece 7 and piece 8. Each piece is 0.1625 m long. Therefore, the center of piece 5 is at 0.1625m/2=0.0812 m. And the center of piece 6 will be shifted by 0.1625m with respect to this:

(c) The total charge is

. To get the charge on each piece, we should divide this value by 8, the number of pieces:

(d) We have to calculate the electric field at x=0.7 generated by piece 6. The charge on piece 6 is the value calculated at point (c):

If we approximate piece 6 as a single charge, the electric field is given by

where

and d is the distance between the charge (center of piece 6, located at 0.2437m) and point a (located at x=0.7m). Therefore we have

poiting towards the center of piece 6, since the charge is negative.
(e) missing details on this question.
B. 1520 is the difference between their weights.
A) 
The magnitude of the capacitive reactance is given by

where
is the angular frequency
C is the capacitance
While the magnitude of the inductive capacitance is given by

where L is the inductance.
Since we want the two reactances to be equal, we have

So we find

B) 7449 rad/s
In this case, we have
is the inductance
is the capacitance
Therefore, substituting in the formula for the angular frequency, we find

C) 
Now we can us the formulas of the reactances written in part A). We have:
- Capacitive reactance:

- Inductive reactance:
