Answer:
<h2>1 kg</h2>Explanation:
Check the diagram attached below for the diagram.
Let the weight of the rock be W and the mass of the meter stick be M. Note that the mass of the meter stick will be placed at the middle of the meter stick i.e at the 50cm mark
Using the principle of moment to calculate the weight of the rock. It states that the sum of clockwise moments is equal to the sum of anti clockwise moment.
Moment = Force * perpendicular distance
The meterstick acts in the clockwise direction while the rock acys in the anti clockwise direction
Clockwise moment = 1kg * 25 = 25kg/cm
Anticlockwise moment = W * 25cm = 25W kg/cm
Equating both moments of forces
25W = 25
W = 25/23
W = 1 kg
The mass of the rock is also 1 kg
Solution :
a). B at the center :
Here, one of the current is in the clockwise direction and therefore, the other current must be in the clockwise direction in order to cancel out the effect of the magnetic field that is produced by the other.
Therefore, the answer is ANTICLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE
b). Also, the sum of the fields must be zero.
Therefore,
So,
A
Therefore, the current in the outer wire is 24.38 ampere.
