Please answer question 1 with details on how to do it. Please make handwriting legible. Thank you. 

**Question:**

1. Compute the equivalent capacitance of the network in the following diagram.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram represents a network of capacitors arranged in a combination of series and parallel configurations. Here is a detailed description:

- There are six capacitors in the network.
- Starting from the top left:
  - Two capacitors, each marked as 3F (farads), are in series.
- Moving horizontally to the right, after the first 3F capacitor:
  - A horizontal 3F capacitor is aligned parallel to a vertical 4F capacitor.
- To the far right:
  - A diagonal connection connects to a 6F capacitor.
- Below that, there is a 9F capacitor positioned diagonally between two connection points.
- At the bottom right:
  - Another 3F capacitor is positioned parallel to the 6F capacitor.

The goal is to calculate the total equivalent capacitance, \( C_T \), for this network configuration.
