A single-turn current loop, carrying a current of 3.50 a, is in the shape of a right triangle with sides 50.0, 120, and 130 cm.
the loop is in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 72.5 mt whose direction is parallel to the current in the 130 cm side of the loop. what are the magnitude of the magnetic forces on each of the three sides?
As seen in the attached diagram, we are going to use dynamics to resolve the problem, so we will be using the equations for the translation and the rotation dyamics:
Translation: ΣF = ma
Rotation: ΣM = Iα ; where α = angular acceleration
Because the angular acceleration is equal to the linear acceleration divided by the radius, the rotation equation also can be represented like:
ΣM = I(a/R)
Now we are going to resolve and combine these equations.
For translation: Fx - Ffr = ma
We know that Fx = mgSin27°, so we substitute:
(1) mgSin27° - Ffr = ma
For rotation: (Ffr)(R) = (2/3mR²)(a/R)
The radius cancel each other:
(2) Ffr = 2/3 ma
We substitute equation (2) in equation (1):
mgSin27° - 2/3 ma = ma
mgSin27° = ma + 2/3 ma
The mass gets cancelled:
gSin27° = 5/3 a
a = (3/5)(gSin27°)
a = (3/5)(9.8 m/s²(Sin27°))
a = 2.67 m/s²
If we assume that the acceleration is a constant we can use the next equation to find the velocity:
Given there are three blocks of masses , and (ref image in attachment)
When all three masses move together at an acceleration a, the force F is given by
F = ( + + ) *a ................(equation 1)
Also it is given that does not move with respect to , which gives tension T is exerted on pulley by only, Hence tension T is
T = *a ..........(equation 2)
There is also also tension exerted by . There are two components here: horizontal due to acceleration a and vertical component due to gravity g. Thus tension is given by
T = ................(equation 3)
From equation 2 and 3, we get
*a =
Squaring both sides we get
* = * (+)
* = ( * )+ ( *)
( - ) * = *
= */( - )
Taking square root on both sides, we get acceleration a
a = *g/()
Hence substituting the value of a in equation 1, we get
