Copper Copper wire Force Magnetic Magnetic force Wire

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on calculating the required current flow in a suspended 1.1-diameter copper wire, influenced by magnetic forces from two bottom wires carrying a current of 50 A each. Participants are encouraged to share their progress and specific challenges encountered in solving the problem. The original poster expresses frustration over the difficulty of the calculation and seeks assistance. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding magnetic forces and current interactions in this context. Assistance from knowledgeable individuals is requested to help resolve the issue.

Question Details:
In the figure the top wire is 1.1 -diameter copper wire and is suspended in air due to the two magnetic forces from the bottom two wires. The current is 50 in each of the two bottom wires.

Calculate the required current flow in the suspended wire.
i have been working on it for a long t,me.if one who knows a solution appear, i will be happy

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
