Answer:
i = 4.9 A
Explanation:
The expression for the magnetic force in a wire carrying a current is
F = i L x B
bold letters indicate vectors.
The direction of the cable is towards the East, the direction of the magnetic field is towards the North, so the vector product is in the vertical direction (z-axis) upwards and the weight of the cable is vertical downwards. Let's apply the equilibrium condition
F - W = 0
i L B = m g
They indicate the linear density of the cable λ = 0.2 kg / m
λ = m / L
m = λ L
we substitute
i B = λ g
i = 
let's calculate
i = 0.2 9.8 / 0.4
i = 4.9 A
Answer: 3.41 s
Explanation:
Assuming the question is to find the time
the ball is in air, we can use the following equation:

Where:
is the final height of the ball
is the initial height of the ball
is the initial velocity of the ball
is the time the ball is in air
is the acceleration due to gravity

Then:


Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1 and rearranging:

At this point we have a quadratic equation of the form
, which can be solved with the following formula:
Where:
Substituting the known values:
Solving the equation and choosing the positive result we have:
This is the time the ball is in air
The answer to this question is a) sulfur
Then the force will also be doubled
