Wire Loops, Current, Magnetic Field, & Straight Wire HELP

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a physics problem involving the interaction between a straight wire carrying current and a wire loop with a different current. Participants are asked to determine the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the wire loop by the straight wire's current. The original poster provides links to a diagram for reference and requests assistance. Contributors emphasize the importance of showing work, including equations and calculations, to facilitate effective help. The conversation centers on understanding magnetic fields and forces in the context of current-carrying conductors.

This problem deals with current and the magnetic fields of these wire loops & straight wires. The question is listed below, as is the link to the picture. Thanks SO Much for your help!

If that one doesn't work, try this one:

In the diagram, one current flows through the straight wire and another current flows around the wire loop, with the magnitudes shown. What are the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the wire loop by the current in the straight wire?

What have you tried so far? When you show your work (equations you are using, and number you are plugging in), we'll better know how we can help.
 
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...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
