Answer:
The industry standard life span is about 25 to 30 years, and that means that some panels installed at the early end of the current boom aren't long from being retired is the operating life time of a PV module .
Part (a): Magnetic dipole moment
Magnetic dipole moment = IA, I = Current, A = Area of the loop
Then,
Magnetic dipole moment = 2.6*π*0.15^2 = 0.184 Am^2
Part (b): Torque acting on the loop
T = IAB SinФ, where B = Magnetic field, Ф = Angle
Then,
T = Magnetic dipole moment*B*SinФ = 0.184*12*Sin 41 = 1.447 Nm
According to Newton's Second Law of motion, the net force acting on the object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. In formula, it is written as
Net Force =mass * acceleration
Net force = 25 kg * 5m/s^2
Net force = 125 Newtons
