I with finding a voltage across a Capacitor

[anonx12]

Homework Statement

Find the voltage across the capacitor given the data underneath the circuit.

Homework Equations

Voltage Divider Rule
Thevenin Equivalent
Ohms Law

The Attempt at a Solution

I have tried using the Voltage divider rule but I can't seem to get the right answer. The correct answer is 13.61V . I calculated the total current and overall resistance, but I don't know how to arrive where they got. Can someone help me?

There is no current flowing in the R2 + C1 leg of the circuit so what is the voltage drop across R2 ?

 

[anonx12]

I calculated the equivalent resistance of the ones in parallel, excluding R1. That number is 1435 ohms. I then tried to use the voltage divider rule: Vr2= Req/(R8+Req)

I think you missed the point of my question . Please show us your actual workings .

The voltage across resistor 2 is the same as the voltage across the capacitor. Since the voltage across parallel circuits is the same, we only need to use the voltage divider rule among Resistor 1 and the resistors in parallel. Doing this however, doesn't result in the correct answer.
My worked solutions is : Vr2= (Req/(Req+R1))(35V) Vr2=5.32V Req= ((1/2)+(1/8)+(1/14))^-1

The voltage across resistor 2 is the same as the voltage across the capacitor

That is not correct . If you can work out why then solving the rest of the problem will be easy .

In this simpler problem what is V2 ?

nb : Assume that the circuit is in a settled condition .
