The problem states that an electron has a downward force traveilling in a magnetic field west. So the hand is pointing down and the palm is pointing toward the left?
Hey
I am trying to figure out how to use the right hand rule when magnetic force points downward. I comprehend what the fingers are used for but when i but the finger downward I get a direction to the left, but the answer is that the direction is north. Why is that?
Yea I am familiar with vectors, so the the component of the gravatational force acting down on the inclined plane is the component that is perpendicular to the plane?
mgcos36.1
I drew a diagram, and I found the mass of the object which was 39.64 kg but i am not sure if i need that calculation. I am tring to look at how to get started so that I can solve the problem.
