Answer:
Please refer to the figure.
Explanation:
The magnitude of the magnetic field can be found by Biot-Savart Law. We should divide the loop into four components. Each component has a similar solution but their directions are quite different.
The directions can be found by right-hand rule. Point your index finger into the direction of current, point your middle finger towards the target point (0,0,a). Your thumb will show you the direction of magnetic field.
Answer:
The tension in each half of the rope, is approximately 4,908.8 N
Explanation:
The mass of the acrobat, m = 60 kg
The length of the rope, l = 10 m
The extent by which the center dropped = 30 cm = 0.3 m
Let, 'T' represent the tension in each half of the rope
Weight, W = Mass, m × The acceleration due to gravity, g
∴ W = m × g
The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 9.8 m/s²
∴ The weight of the acrobat, W = 60 kg × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 588 N
The angle the dropped rope makes with the horizontal, θ is given as follows;
θ = arctan((0.3 m)/(5 m)) = arctan(0.06) ≈ 3.434°
At equilibrium, the sum of vertical forces, = 0
The vertical component of the tension, , in each half of the rope is given as follows;
= T × sin(θ)
∴ = W + T × sin(θ) + T × sin(θ) = W + 2 × T × sin(θ)
Plugging in the values, with θ = arctan(0.06) for accuracy, we get;
588 N + 2 × T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 0
∴ 2 × -T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 588 N
-T= 588 N/(2 × sin(arctan(0.06)) = 4,908.81208 N ≈ 4,908.8 N
The tension in each half of the rope, T ≈ 4,908.8 N.
