Charging a capacitor with constant current has been used many times in timing circuits.

If the spring scale was calibrated with the factor 32.2 in mind, it would read less than 1 pound of force

What formula did you use for I(t)?

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you want to do. Could you post a diagram?

The SR 830 has a current measurement mode shown in the user manual. However, most Hall devices provide an output voltage. Do you want to measure a DC or AC magnetic field?

This YouTube video may help:

Can you make a nice drawing that shows how you came to the conclusion?

I remember Gauss' Law refers to a closed surface. I think the plane isn't a closed one.

Let me plot with with Geogebra (can I do this?) the cosine part of the magnetic flux: The sign of the first derivative doesn't change in the range from zero to 120 degrees. Thus, if we assume the loop's resistance is high enough to neglect inductance effects, the induced flows in the same...

Keep in mind that flux carries a dot product and sign matters.

Why did you change from cos(beta) to |cos(beta)| ?

More than forty years algo, Isaac Asimov wrote several novels where robots were conscious. Asimov relied on the so called "positronic brain". These robots faced very human dilemma. I feel these novels give a good starting point to further the subject.

Usually, a disk has zero thickness. I think the answer key is wrong.

Internet rules say that writing with caps on is equivalent to yelling. Having said that, how many leds have your strip? [Note: all caps OP has been fixed by the Mentors]

From the first graph I see the speed changes from 1 m/s to 6 m/s in about 0.5 s. From this data I compute an average acceleration of 10m/s2. Not too bad at all. Finite differences from experimental data are frequently too noisy.
