A uniform magnetic field points upward, parallel to the page, and has a magnitude of 7.85 mt. a negatively charged particle (q=−

3.32 μc, m=2.05 pg) moves through this field with a speed of 67.3 km/s perpendicular to the magnetic field, as shown. the magnetic force on this particle is a centripetal force and causes the particle to move in a circular path. what is the radius of the particle's circular path?

The Lorentz force exerted on the particle due to the magnetic field provides the centripetal force that keeps the particle in circular motion:
m \frac{v^2}{r} = qvB
where
m is the particle mass
v is its velocity
r its orbital radius
q its charge
B the magnetic field intensity
and where we neglected the factor \sin \theta in the Lorentz force formula because the particle is traveling perpendicular to the magnetic field, so \sin \theta=1 .

Re-arranging the formula, we get
r= \frac{mv}{qB} (1)
The problem gives us all the data about the particle and the magnetic field:
m=2.05 pg= 2.05 \cdot 10^{-12} g=2.05 \cdot 10^{-15} kg
v=67.3 km/s = 67.3 \cdot 10^3 m/s
q=3.32 \mu C = 3.32 \cdot 10^{-6} C (we are only interested in the magnitude of the charge)
B=7.85 mT = 7.85 \cdot 10^{-3}T

And by plugging these numbers into eq.(1), we find the radius of the orbit
r= \frac{mv}{qB}= \frac{(2.05 \cdot 10^{-15} kg)(67.3 \cdot 10^3 m/s)}{(3.32 \cdot 10^{-6} C)(7.85 \cdot 10^{-3} T)}=5.29 \cdot 10^{-3} m

the base of a rectangular vessel measure 10m by 18cm. water is poured into a depth of 4cm. (a) what is the pressure on the base?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

a) P =392.4[Pa]; b) F = 706.32[N]

Explanation:

With the input data of the problem we can calculate the area of the tank base

L = length = 10[m]

W = width = 18[cm] = 0.18[m]

A = W * L = 0.18*10

A = 1.8[m^2]

a)

Pressure can be calculated by knowing the density of the water and the height of the water column within the tank which is equal to h:

P = density * g *h

where:

density = 1000[kg/m^3]

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

h = heigth = 4[cm] = 0.04[m]

P = 1000*9.81*0.04

P = 392.4[Pa]

The force can be easily calculated knowing the relationship between pressure and force:

P = F/A

F = P*A

F = 392.4*1.8

F = 706.32[N]
