Textbook Question
Chapter 29, Problem 15P
You are part of a team working in a machine parts mechanic’s shop. An important customer has asked your company to provide springs with a very precise force constant k. To measure the spring constant, you fasten two of the springs between the ends of two very long wires of length L, separated by the unstretched length ℓ of the springs as shown in Figure P29.15. The specific attachment method that you use insulates the springs from the wires so that no current passes through the springs. You lay the apparatus flat on a table and then pass a current of magnitude I through the wires, in opposite directions. As a result the springs stretch by a distance d and come to equilibrium. You determine an expression for the spring constant in terms of L, I, ℓ, and d.

An 80 kg astronaut has gone outside his space capsule to do some repair work. Unfortunately, he forgot to lock his safety tether in place , and he has drifted 5.0 m away from the capsule . Fortunately, he has a 1000 W portable laser with fresh batteries that will operate it for 1.0 h. His only chance is to accelerate him self toward the space capsule by firing the laser in the opposite direction. He has a 10-h supply of oxygen. How long will it take him to reach safety ?
6. Rail guns have been suggested for launching projectiles into space without chemical rockets. A
tabletop model rail gun (Figure A2.4) consists of two long, parallel, horizontal rails, l= 3.50 cm apart,
bridged by a bar of mass m= 3.00 g that is free to slide without friction. The rails and bar have low
electric resistance, and the current is limited to a constant I = 24.0 A by a power supply that is far
to the left of the figure, so it has no magnetic effect on the bar. Figure A2.4 shows the bar at rest
at the midpoint of the rails at the moment the current is established. We wish to find the speed
with which the bar leaves the rails after being released from the midpoint of the rails.
(a) Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 1.75 cm from a single long wire carrying
a current of 2.40 A.
(b) For purposes of evaluating the magnetic field, model the rails as infinitely long. Using the result
of part (a), find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the…
Q4: Show detailed work and pay attention to the units.
There are two different ways to calculate the potential difference across the bar, using the motional EMF expression or Faraday's Law. Show that both methods give
the same answer.
Use the right hand rule to figure out which end of the bar (A or B) will be at a higher potential due to the motion of the conductor in the field.

You have been asked to determine if the standard disk drive motor will be sufficient for the test version of the new disk. To do this you decide to calculate how much energy is needed to get the 6.4 cm diameter, 15 gram disk to its operating speed of 350 revolutions per second. The test disk also has 4 different sensors attached to its surface. These small sensors are arranged at the corners of a square with sides of 1.2 cm. To assure stability, the center of mass of the sensor array is in the same position as the center of mass of the disk. The disk’s axis of rotation also goes through the center of mass. You know that the sensors have masses of 1.0 grams, 1.5 grams, 2.0 grams, and 3.0 grams. The moment of inertia of your disk is one-half that of a ring.arrow_forwardTwo resistanceless rails rest 42 cm apart on a 6.6o ramp. They are joined at the bottom by a 0.68 Ω resistor. At the top, a copper bar of mass 0.034 kg (ignore its resistance) is laid across the rails. The whole apparatus is immersed in a vertical 0.35 T field.

Calculate the induced electric potential difference between the two ends of the bar.arrow_forwardA rail gun uses electromagnetic forces to accelerate a projectile to very high velocities. The basic mechanism of acceleration is relatively simple and can be illustrated in the following example. A metal rod of mass 40.0 g and electrical resistance 0.300 Ω rests on parallel horizontal rails that have negligible electric resistance. The rails are a distance L = 9.00 cm apart. (Figure 1)The rails are also connected to a voltage source providing a voltage of V = 5.00 V .The rod is placed in a vertical magnetic field. The rod begins to slide when the field reaches the value B = 0.131 T . Assume that the rod has a slightly flattened bottom so that it slides instead of rolling.

An idealized model of a railgun is illustrated in (Figure 1). A 1.2 V power supply is connected to two conducting rails. A segment of copper wire, in a region of uniform magnetic field, slides freely on the rails. The wire has a 0.73 m2 resistance and a mass of 7.0 g. Ignore the resistance of the rails. At some moment, the power supply is switched on. For the steps and strategies involved in solving a similar problem, you may view a Video Tutor Solution.
