Three-cylinder capacitor

A capacitor consists of three concentric cylindrical shells withradii R, 2R, and 3R. The inner and outershells are connected by a conducting wire, so they are at the samepotential. The shells are initially neutral, and then some chargeis transferred from the middle shell to the inner/outer shells.

a) If the final charge per unit length on themiddle shell is λ, what are the charges per unit length on theinner and outer shells?

b) What is the capacitance per unit length ofthe system?

c) type or neat handwriting for thequestions above ( I don't understand cursive alot) I appreciate your understanding.
