Answer

$V_2 = 600~V$

Work Step by Step

After a long time, the capacitor acts like a broken wire, so no current flows through the branch with the capacitor. All the current flows through $R_1$ and $R_2$ We can find the equivalent resistance of $R_1$ and $R_2$: $R_{eq} = 0.73~M \Omega+0.73~M \Omega = 1.46~M \Omega$ We can find the current in the circuit: $i = \frac{1.2~kV}{1.46~M \Omega} = 0.82~mA$ $i_2 = 0.82~mA$ We can find $V_2$: $V_2 = i_2~R_2$ $V_2 = (0.82~mA)(0.73~M \Omega)$ $V_2 = 600~V$
