Suppose a friend is completing another physics assignment in their chair at their desk and you take the opportunity to turn this scenario into the physics question you now must complete. Your friend and chair have a combined constant moment of inertia of 4.6 kg m2, and the chair can freely rotate.

A Geiger tube consists of two elements, a long metal cylindrical shell and a long straight metal wire running down its central axis. Model the tube as if both the wire and cylinder are infinitely long. The central wire is positively charged and the outer cylinder is negatively charged. The potential difference between the wire and the cylinder is 1.10 kV. Suppose the cylinder in the Geiger tube has an inside diameter of 3.64 cm and the wire has a diameter of 0.452 mm.
