If you have the p (charge per volume) value for a thick charged insulating cylindrical shell how do you find the linear density? The problem doesn't give the length of the shell but it does have an infinite charged line running through the axis of the shell.

You can multiply the charge per unit volume by the base area of the cylinder to obtain the linear density.
