Name: Force on a Wire
Section: Download and open the Lab 7 Excel Simulation. You may receive a notification that macros are disabled. You can disable the macros, or you can change the direction of the battery and magnet manually by clicking on the drop-down in the appropriate cells. If you change these manually, the simulation diagrams will no longer match. Part 1 – Observations
1.
What is the weight of the magnet? 2.
Set the magnetic field strength to 0.2 T
, the current in the wire to 1.0 A
, and the length of the wire to 0.01 m. Use the flip battery and flip magnet buttons to change the direction of the battery and magnet.
Create each of the following arrangements, and record your observations in the data table below. Direction of the magnetic field

The weight of the magnet is 120N or 27.3lbs
Conversion from newtons to pounds: 120N = 1lb/4.4N = 27.3lbs
What conclusions can you draw from these observations? Be specific.

Enact each of the changes shown below on the system. Record your qualitative observations on the data table below. Make sure that you change the system one variable at a time (do not change all three at the same time).

Part 2 – Data Collection 4.
In this section, you will collect three sets of data and produce a graph for each data set. Complete each of the data tables, and create a properly labeled graph. Remember, change only one variable at a time while holding all other variables constant.

The relationship between force on a wire and magnetic field strength is that as the magnetic field strength increases, the force on the wire also increases. We can see on the graph a positive linear correlation. When the magnetic field strength doubles, the force on the wire also doubles. We can see that when the magnetic field strength was 0.2T the force on the wire was 0.002N. We the magnetic field strength was double to 0.4T the force on the wire also double and we got 0.004N.

Create a scatter plot of the data. Apply a linear fit and include the equation. Properly label the graph, and copy and paste it below:
The relationship between force on a wire and current in the wire is that as we increase the current in the wire, the force on the wire also increases. We see a positive linear relationship on our graph and data table. If the current in the wire doubles, the force on the wire also doubles. For example, when the current in the wire was 3A, the force on the wire was 0.006N. When we double the current to 6A, the force on the wire doubled to 0.012N.
12.
According to the graph, what is the relationship between force on a wire and length of wire in the field? If the length of the wire in the field doubles, what happens to the force on the wire? Part 3 – Analysis
Use your data and graphs to answer each of the following questions: 13.
Look up the accepted equation for force on a current bearing wire. How do your results compare? Be specific. The relationship between force on a wire and length of wire in the field is that as the length of the wire field increases, the force on the wire also increases. We can see on our graph a positive linear correlation between these two variables. If the length of the wire in the field doubles, the force on the wire also doubles. For example, when the length of the wire is 0.01m, the force on the wire is 0.002N. When the length of the wire doubles to 0.02m the force on the wire also doubles to 0.004N. The accepted equation for force on a current bearing wire is F = IL x B. Where F is force, I is current,
L is the length of the wire and B is the magnetic field strength. My results are perfectly compatible with this equation. As we increased the length of the wire, the current on the wire, and the magnetic field strength, we also saw an increase in the force on the wire. If we were to decrease the magnetic field strength, then the force on the wire would also decrease which would also be the same result if we were to decrease the current and/or length of the wire.

Q1: The arms of a Porter governor are 250 mm long. The upper arms are pivoted on
the axis of revolution, but the lower arms are attached to a sleeve at a distance of 50
mm from the axis of rotation. The weight on the sleeve is 600 N and the weight of
each ball is 80 N. Determine the equilibrium speed when the radius of rotation of the
balls is 150 mm. If the friction is equivalent to a load of 25 N at the sleeve, determine
the range of speed for this position.
Q2: In a loaded Proell governor shown in Figure below each ball weighs 3 kg and
the central sleeve weighs 25 kg. The arms are of 200 mm length and pivoted about

The Weather Monitor. Your South American expedition splits into two groups: one that stays at home base, and yours that goes off to
set up a sensor that will monitor precipitation, temperature, and sunlight through the upcoming winter. The sensor must link up to a
central communications system at base camp that simultaneously uploads the data from numerous sensors to a satellite. In order to
set up and calibrate the sensor, you will have to communicate with base camp to give them specific location information.
Unfortunately, the group's communication and navigation equipment has dwindled to walkie-talkies and a compass due to a river-raft
mishap, which means your group must not exceed the range of the walkie-talkies (3.0 miles). However, you do have a laser rangefinder
to help you measure distances as you navigate with the compass. After a few hours of hiking, you find the perfect plateau on which to
mount the sensor. You have carefully mapped your path from base camp around lakes and…

You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the Ti-6Al-4V…

Set up a spreadsheet solution to this problem. This will require that you derive one
formula to express the relationship between the friction coefficient, the spring constant,
and the spring compression; and a second formula to find the cost of using different slide

"Acceptable?" column manually, rather than using a formula. Turn in a copy of your
