Two rigid rods are oriented parallel to each other and to the ground. The rods carry the same current in the same direction. The
length of each rod is 1.1 m, while the mass of each is 0.11 kg. One rod is held in place above the ground, and the other floats beneath it at a distance of 8.3 mm. Determine the current in the rods.

Answer:
I = 215.76 A
Explanation:
The direction of magnetic field produced by conductor 1 on the location of conductor 2 is towards left. Based on Right Hand Rule -1 and taking figure 21.3 as reference, the direction of force Fm due to magnetic field produced at C_2 is shown above. The force Fm balances the weight of conductor 2.
Fm = u_o*I^2*L/2*π*d
where I is the current in each rod, d = 0.0082 m is the distance 27rId
between each, L = 0.85 m is the length of each rod.
Fm = 4π*10^-7*I^2*1.1/2*π*0.0083
The mass of each rod is m = 0.0276 kg
F_m = mg
4π*10^-7*I^2*1.1/2*π*0.0083=0.0276*9.8
I = 215.76 A

Answer:
The rate of change of the distance between the helicopter and yourself (in ft/s) after 5 s is ft/ sec
Explanation:
Given:
h(t) = 25 ft/sec
x(t) = 10 ft/ sec
h(5) = 25 ft/sec . 5 = 125 ft
x(5) = 10 ft/sec . 5 = 50 ft
Now we can calculate the distance between the person and the helicopter by using the Pythagorean theorem
Lets find the derivative of distance with respect to time
Substituting the values of h(t) and x(t) and simplifying we get,
=
=
ft / sec
Answer:
13800 N
Explanation:
Impulse is the product of average force and time expressed as I=Ft where I is the impulse which results into change in momentum, F is the average force and t is the time of impact. Making F the subject of formula then
Substituting I with 13.8 N.s and time, t witg 0.001 s then the average force is calculated as
Therefore, the average force is equivalent to 13800 N
