A circular coil 18.0 cm in radius and composed of 145 tightly wound turns carries a current of 2.80 A in the
counterclockwise direction, where the plane of the coil makes an angle of 15.0° with the y axis (see figure below). The coil
is free to rotate about the z axis and is placed in a region with a uniform magnetic field given by B = 1.20 Ĵ T.
