You are in the lab and are given two rods set up so that the top rod is directly above the bottom one. The two straight rods 50-

cm long are separated by a distance of 1.5-mm each with 15 A of current passing through them. Assume that the bottom rod is fixed and that the top rod is somehow free to move vertically but not horizontally. How much must the top rod weigh so that the system is at equilibrium

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic force due to lower rod must be equal to weight of upper rod for equilibrium .

magnetic field due to lower rod on upper rod

= ( μ₀ / 4π ) x(2i / r ) , i is current , r is distance between rod

= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 15 / 1.5 x 10⁻³

= 20 x 10⁻⁴ T

force on the upper rod

= B i L , B is magnetic field , i is current in second rod and L is its length

= 20 x 10⁻⁴ x 15 x .50

= 150 x 10⁻⁴ N

= .015 N

This force can balance a wire having weight equal to .015 N .

= .00153 kg

= 1.53 g .

wire should weigh 1.53 g .

What is the mass of an object that has a 250 N force moving at an acceleration of 10 m/s2 ?
zzz [600]
Answer: 25 kg

Identify the given information.
f = 250 N
a = 10 m/s^2 
 
Choose which formula you should use. In this case, you are finding the mass.
The formula for force is f = ma, so, using this, it is easy to find the mass.

f = ma         Divide by a for both sides
m = f/a        Formula for mass!

The formula for mass is m = f/a, where f is force and a is acceleration.

Substitute.
m = (250 N)/(10 m/s^2)
m = 25 kg

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

(a) 1.054 m/s²

(b) 1.404 m/s²

Explanation:

0.5·m·g·cos(θ) - μs·m·g·(1 - sin(θ))  - μk·m·g·(1 - sin(θ))  = m·a

Which gives;

0.5·g·cos(θ) - μ·g·(1 - sin(θ)   = a

Where:

m = Mass of the of the block

μ = Coefficient of friction

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = Acceleration of the block

θ = Angle of elevation of the block = 20°

Therefore;

0.5×9.81·cos(20°) - μs×9.81×(1 - sin(20°)  - μk×9.81×(1 - sin(20°) = a

(a) When the static friction μs = 0.610  and the dynamic friction μk = 0.500, we have;

0.5×9.81·cos(20°) - 0.610×9.81×(1 - sin(20°)  - 0.500×9.81×(1 - sin(20°) = 1.054 m/s²

(b) When the static friction μs = 0.400  and the dynamic friction μk = 0.300, we have;

0.5×9.81·cos(20°) - 0.400×9.81×(1 - sin(20°)  - 0.300×9.81×(1 - sin(20°) = 1.404 m/s².
