The force exerted by a magnetic field of intensity B on a wire of length L is:
F=ILB \sin \theta
where I is the current in the wire and \theta is the angle between the wire and the direction of B.
In our problem, the length of the wire is L=260 m, the current is I=115 A, the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field is B=5.0 \cdot 10^{-5}T and the angle between the wire and B is 80^{\circ}, and by substituting these numbers in the previous expression we can find the magnitude of the force:
F=(115 A)(260 m)(5.0 \cdot 10^{-5}T)(\sin 80^{\circ})=1.48 N

What is the distance from axis about which a uniform, balsa-wood sphere will have the same moment of inertia as does a thin-wall
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

D_{s} ≈ 2.1 R

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the bodies can be calculated by the equation

     I = ∫ r² dm

For bodies with symmetry this tabulated, the moment of inertia of the center of mass

Sphere               Is_{cm} = 2/5 M R²

Spherical shell   Ic_{cm} = 2/3 M R²

The parallel axes theorem allows us to calculate the moment of inertia with respect to different axes, without knowing the moment of inertia of the center of mass

    I = I_{cm} + M D²

Where M is the mass of the body and D is the distance from the center of mass to the axis of rotation

Let's start with the spherical shell, axis is along a diameter

     D = 2R

    Ic = Ic_{cm} + M D²

    Ic = 2/3 MR² + M (2R)²

    Ic = M R² (2/3 + 4)

    Ic = 14/3 M R²

The sphere

    Is =Is_{cm} + M [D_{s}²

    Is = Ic

    2/5 MR² + M D_{s}² = 14/3 MR²

    D_{s}² = R² (14/3 - 2/5)

    D_{s} = √ (R² (64/15)

    D_{s} = 2,066 R
