George is applying a downward force of 50N to and object that has a mass of 50kg. What is the normal force (FN) of the object wh
1 answer:
The normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction
<u>Explanation:</u>
As George is applying a downward force, the normal force will be in the upward direction. The normal force will be exerted due to the acceleration due to gravity exerted on the object.
So, as per Newton's second law, the normal force acting on the object can be measured by the product of mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object.
But as the acceleration due to gravity is a downward acting acceleration and the normal force is a upward acting force, so the acceleration will be having a negative sign in the formula.
Here, acceleration due to gravity g = -10 m/s² and mass is given as 50 kg, then
Normal force = 50 × (-10) = -500 N
So, the normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction.

Answer:
B = 38.2μT
Explanation:
By the Ampere's law you have that the magnetic field generated by a current, in a wire, is given by:
(1)
μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A
r: distance from the center of the cylinder, in which B is calculated
Ir: current for the distance r
In this case, you first calculate the current Ir, by using the following relation:
J: current density
Ar: cross sectional area for r in the hollow cylinder
Ar is given by
The current density is given by the total area and the total current:
R2: outer radius = 26mm = 26*10^-3 m
R1: inner radius = 5 mm = 5*10^-3 m
IT: total current = 4 A
Then, the current in the wire for a distance r is:
(2)
You replace the last result of equation (2) into the equation (1):
Finally. you replace the values of all parameters:
hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point 12 mm from the center of the hollow cylinder, is 38.2μT
