ok, so you need to find the electric field strength at that point. What is the first step? The first step is to imagine a point charge on the rod. The electric field strength generated from this charge at that point, take this and integrate it over the length of the wire.
 
ok i understand. thank you for help.
 
no problem, what was the answer by the way
