You are working in a factory that produces long bars of copper with a square cross section. In one section of the production process, the bars must slide down a plane inclined at an angle θ = 21.0° to the horizontal. It has been found that the bars travel with too high a speed and become dented or bent when they arrive at the bottom of the plane and must be discarded. In order to prevent this waste, you devise a way to deliver the bars at the bottom of the plane at a lower speed. You replace the inclined plane with a pair of parallel metal rails, shown in Figure P30.19, separated by a distance ℓ = 2.00 m. The smooth bars of mass m = 1.00 kg will slide down the smooth rails, with the length of the bar always perpendicular to the rails. The rails are immersed in a magnetic field of magnitude B, and a resistor of resistance R = 1.00 Ω is connected between the upper ends of the rails. Determine the magnetic field necessary in your device so that the bars will arrive at the bottom of the plane with a maximum speed v = 1.00 m/s.

- In laser eye surgery, the average laser pulse power is 60 kW, and contains 1 mJ of light energy. Each laser pulse lasts nanosecond. Type your answer.arrow_forwardOne the selling points of golf balls is their durability. An independent testing laboratory is commissioned to compare the durability of three different brands of golf balls. Balls of each type will be put into a machine that hits the balls with the same force that a golfer uses on the course. The number of hits required until the outer covering cracks is recorded for each ball, with the results given the table below.
