I mean not that the square in general has 2 sides. I know that's not possible. But I thought that when it said a single turn it meant that the length .709 was the first 2 sides of the square... |_ <- like that if it makes sense. And I just divided the length by 2 to get the length of one side...

A square has 4 sides. But since its a single loop square doesn't it only have 2 sides?

Homework Statement A 0.790 m length of wire is formed into a single-turn, square loop in which there is a current of 12.4 A. The loop is placed in a magnetic field of 0.146 T, as shown in the figure below. http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/5043/cutj2167.gif Homework Equations Net...

Thanks for the help AFM but I was able to figure out this problem on my own after looking at it for a little while. I messed up on a negative sign and it threw all of my numbers off.

The question asked is to calculate the magnitude of the electric field due only to charge q3 at this point? This is the last statement of the problem. In the picture provided (I tried to copy and paste but it didn't work.) Q1 is touching at the origin and Q2 is a little to the right on the...

Homework Statement Three charges, q1 = 8.59nC, q2 = -5.67nC and q3 = 2.98nC are at the corners of an equilateral triangle, as shown in the figure below. The angle alpha is 60.0° and L = 0.537 m. We are interested in the point midway between the charges q1 and q2 on the x axis. For...

Hi I'm a calculas student and about every 2 weeks we are given an assignment on matlab. I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with the program. Anyway as I was working my way through the steps on the paper is to graph e^x and 10^x. On my screen I'm shown a graphy unfortunately I'm unable to...

Sorry for the question everyone. I figured out the answer. I was overcomplicating the problem and it was just stressing me out but I took a break and came back and realized it wasn't hard at all.

Homework Statement Dorothy is up on her 10.0m by 12.0m roof enjoying the view of Kansas. Suddenly, a strong wind blows down her ladder, leaving her stranded. She knows that a high wind reduces the air pressure on the roof, and that there is a danger that the atmospheric pressure inside the...

Homework Statement A number a is called a fixed point if f(a)=a. Prove that if f is a differentiable function with f'(x)=1 for all x then f has at most one fixed point. Homework Equations In class we have been using Rolle's Theorem and the Mean Value Theorem. The Attempt at a...

Homework Statement A skier is pulled up a slope at a constant velocity by a tow bar. The slope is inclined at 24.0° with respect to the horizontal. The force applied to the skier by the tow bar is parallel to the slope. The skier's mass is 61.9 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction...

Homework Statement A 3.52 kg block located on a horizontal frictionless floor is pulled by a cord that exerts a force F=12.6N at an angle theta=31.0degrees above the horizontal. The floor has a coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.04, what is the magnitude of the frictional force on the...

Thank you so much. I thought I made a really dumb mistake.

Homework Statement A diver springs upward from a board that is 3.05 m above the water. At the instant she contacts the water her speed is 8.51 m/s and her body makes an angle of 75.1 degrees with respect to the horizontal surface of the water. Determine her initial speed as she leaves the...
