I believe it is the first one
Answer:
No, it is not magnetized.
Explanation:
Bar B does not necessarily have to be magnetized before it can be attracted to a magnet. It just has to be a magnetic material such as Iron.
If bar B were magnetized, it could either be attracted or repelled by the magnet since this would depend on the side of the pole of bar B facing it.
Since we are not given any information about bar B other than it is attracted to the magnet, it is thus not magnetized.
Answer:
(a). The ball's centripetal acceleration is 
(b). The magnitude of the net force is 232.9 N.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of baseball = 144 g
Speed = 81 mph = 36.2 m/s
Distance = 81 cm
(a). We need top calculate the ball's centripetal acceleration just before it is released
Using formula of centripetal acceleration

Where, v = speed
r = radius
Put the value into the formula



(b). We need to calculate the magnitude of the net force that is acting on the ball just before it is released
Using formula of force

Put the value into the formula


Hence, (a). The ball's centripetal acceleration is 
(b). The magnitude of the net force is 232.9 N.
To solve this problem we will use the Ampere-Maxwell law, which describes the magnetic fields that result from a transmitter wire or loop in electromagnetic surveys. According to Ampere-Maxwell law:

Where,
B= Magnetic Field
l = length
= Vacuum permeability
= Vacuum permittivity
Since the change in length (dl) by which the magnetic field moves is equivalent to the perimeter of the circumference and that the electric flow is the rate of change of the electric field by the area, we have to

Recall that the speed of light is equivalent to

Then replacing,


Our values are given as




Replacing we have,



Therefore the magnetic field around this circular area is
