Two long wires hang vertically. Wire 1 carries an upward current of 1.20 A. Wire 2, 20.0 cm to the right of wire 1, carries a do

wnward current of 4.20 A. A third wire, wire 3, is to be hung vertically and located such that when it carries a certain current, each wire experiences no net force.
(a) Is this situation possible?
A. Yes
B. No
Is it possible in more than one way?
A. Yes
B. No
(b) Describe the position of wire 3.
distance ________ cm
direction: left of wire 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A, yes

b,

The force(per unit length) on wire 1 by 2 is to the left and

= μo*I1*I2/2πr

= 2*10^-7 * 1.2 * 4.2/0.20

= 5.04*10^-6N/m

From third law we have the force on wire2 by wire 1 is 5.04*10^-6N/m and to the right

So the magnitude of the force on each wire by wire 3 must be 4.2*10^-6N/m

Since the current in wire 2 is > wire 1 then wire 3 must be closer to wire 1 than 2

and wire 3 must be to the left of wire 1

Let x be the distance from wire 3 to wire 1 so x + 0.20 = distance from wire 3 to wire 2

Now μo*I1*I3/2πx = μo*I3*I2/2π(x + 0.20)

so solving for x we get

I1/x = I2/(x+0.20)

or x +0.20 = 4x

so x = 0.20/3 = 0.0667m

Now μo*I1*I3/2πx = 4.2*10^-6

so I3 = 4.2x10^-6 * 0.0667/(2.0x10^-7 * 1.2) = 1.167 A and its direction is down

How do you convert mass to weight and visa versa
Darina [25.2K]
To change from mass to weight is Fw = 30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 294 N. To change from weight to mass divide by gravity (9.8 m/s^2).

A 65-kg ice skater stands facing a wall with his arms bent and then pushes away from the wall by straightening his arms. At the
Marrrta [24]

Our values can be defined like this,

m = 65kg

v = 3.5m / s

d = 0.55m

The problem can be solved for part A, through the Work Theorem that says the following,

W = \Delta KE

Where

KE = Kinetic energy,

Given things like that and replacing we have that the work is given by

W = Fd

and kinetic energy by

\frac {1} {2} mv ^ 2

So,

Fd = \frac {1} {2} m ^ 2

Clearing F,

F = \frac {mv ^ 2} {2d}

Replacing the values

F = \frac {(65) (3.5)} {2 * 0.55}

F = 723.9N

B) The work done by the wall is zero since there was no displacement of the wall, that is d = 0.
