NM I got it the answers is zero since the perpendicular components to the field are zero, and the parallel ones go in opposite directions, and therefore cancel as well.

Homework Statement A constant magnetic field points to the right. B= 2.15 T. Answer in Tm . Homework Equations ∫βDs=μI The Attempt at a Solution Just got introduced to these problems so not really sure how or what to integrate.3

Okay that makes sense, what about the angles on FB? I set up my axis so Fb is along the x axis, and G and B are on the Y axis.

Yea I did, I just don't understand what the angles have to do with anything, G and B are vertical components, and the force would be going perpendicular to the rod. I am just confused on how the angles come into play.

I know which way Fb is pointing I just don't know how to use it to solve for B the magnetic field

Heres the diagram attached to this file

HI my name is Heath, I have an exam over Magnetic fields tomorrow. I was having problems on this one specific problem. If anybody could give me suggestions on how to solve that would be great. A 2 m long metal rod having a mass per unit length λ = 65 g/m carries a current I = 1 A. The rod...
