The convection going on with the magma in the asthenosphere
The work done by a rotating object can be calculated by the formula Work = Torque * angle.
This is analog to the work done by the linear motion where torque is analog to force and angle is analog to distance. This is Work = Force * distance.
An example will help you. Say that you want to calculate the work made by an engine that rotates a propeller with a torque of 1000 Newton*meter over 50 revolution.
The formula is Work = torque * angle.
Torque = 1000 N*m
Angle = [50 revolutions] * [2π radians/revolution] = 100π radians
=> Work = [1000 N*m] * [100π radians] = 100000π Joules ≈ 314159 Joules of work.
Question:
A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.20 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.430 T. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire assuming the following angles between the magnetic field and the current.
(a)60 (b)90 (c)120
Answer:
(a)5.42 N (b)6.26 N (c)5.42 N
Explanation:
From the question
Length of wire (L) = 2.80 m
Current in wire (I) = 5.20 A
Magnetic field (B) = 0.430 T
Angle are different in each part.
The magnetic force is given by

So from data

Now sub parts
(a)

(b)

(c)

2.5 kg because you cant change the weight of the rock
Perpendicular slope would be 1/3. so the equation will be Y=1/3x -4
