A copper rod of mass m = 0.963 kg rests on two horizontal rails a distance L = 1.07 m apart and carries a current of i = 53.0 A from one rail to the other. A top view and a side view are shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between rod and rails is μ = 0.680. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to the vertical) of the smallest magnetic field that puts the rod on the verge of sliding? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Engineering a highway curve. If a car goes through a curve too fast, the car tends to slide out of the curve. For a banked curve with friction, a frictional force acts on a fast car to oppose the tendency to slide out of the curve; the force is directed down the bank (in the direction water would drain). Consider a circular curve of radius R = 220 m and bank angle θ, where the coefficient of static friction between tires and pavement is μs. A car (without negative lift) is driven around the curve as shown in the figure below. Find an expression for the car speed vmax that puts the car on the verge of sliding out, in terms of R, θ, and μs. Evaluate vmax for a bank angle of θ = 11∘ and for (a) μs = 0.77 (dry pavement) and (b) μs = 0.047 (wet or icy pavement). (Now you can see why accidents occur in highway curves when icy conditions are not obvious to drivers, who tend to drive at normal speeds. ) (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

The figure shows a rod of length L = 11.7 cm that is forced to move at constant speed v = 5.31 m/s along horizontal rails. The rod, rails, and connecting strip at the right form a conducting loop. The rod has resistance 0.340 Ω; the rest of the loop has negligible resistance. A current i = 135 A through the long straight wire at distance a = 12.5 mm from the loop sets up a (nonuniform) magnetic field throughout loop. Find the (a) magnitude of the emf and (b) current induced in the loop. (c) At what rate is thermal energy generated in the rod? (d) What is the magnitude of the force that must be applied to the rod to make it move at constant speed? (e) At what rate does this force do work on the rod?

You are working during the summer at a company that builds theme parks. The company is designing an electromagnetic propulsion system for a new roller coaster. A model of a substructure of the device appears in the figure below. (i) The rod is of length d = 1.00 m and mass m = 0.600 kg. The rod carries a current I = 100 A in the direction shown and rolls along the rails of length L = 20.0 m without slipping. The entire system of rod and rails is immersed in a uniform downward-directed magnetic field with magnitude B = 2.30 T. The electromagnetic force on the rod is parallel to the rails, causing the rod to roll to the right in the figure. When a full-scale device is produced, this rod will represent the axle of wheels on which the car and its passengers ride. The electromagnetic force on the axle will provide the motion of the car at the beginning of the roller-coaster ride. Your supervisor wants to test the substructure in the figure in a flat outdoor area on the grounds of the company. By projecting the rod from the rails in a horizontal direction from a height h = 2.20 m, the projection speed can be determined from how far from the ends of the rails the rod hits the ground. Your supervisor asks you to determine the length of the outdoor area needed to test the device. (Determine the total horizontal distance, in m, from the initial position of the rod on the tracks to the final position of the rod where it lands on the ground.) m
