Plaskett's binary system consists of two stars that revolve in a circular orbit about a center of mass midway between them. This statement implies that the masses of the two stars are equal (see figure below). Assume the orbital speed of each star is |v→| = 180 km/s and the orbital period of each is 14.3 days. Find the mass M of each star. (For comparison, the mass of our Sun is 1.99×1030 kg.) solar masses (i)

Coaxial Cable. A solid conductor with radius a is supported by insulating disks on the axis of a conducting tube with inner radius b and outer radius c in the following figure. The central conductor and tube carry equal currents I in opposite directions. The currents are distributed uniformly over the cross sections of each conductor. (Figure 1) Figure 1 of 1 Part A Derive an expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field at points outside the central, solid conductor but inside the tube ( a < r < b ).

J. J. Thomson is best known for his discoveries about the nature of cathode rays. His other important contribution was the invention, together with one of his students, of the mass spectrometer, a device that measures the ratio of mass m to (positive) charge q of an ion. The spectrometer consists of two regions as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) In the first region an electric field accelerates the ion and in the second the ion follows a circular arc in a magnetic field. The radius of curvature of the arc can be measured and then the m/q ratio can be found. Figure 1 of 1 After being accelerated to a speed of 1.69×105 m/s, the particle enters a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.900 T and travels in a circle of radius 35.0 cm (determined by observing where it hits the screen as shown in the figure). The results of this experiment allow one to find m/q. Find the ratio m/q for this particle. Express your answer numerically in kilograms per coulomb. View Available Hint(s)
