Find the final velocity of a metallic bar

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the final velocity of a metallic bar on a ramp influenced by a hanging weight and a magnetic field. The conservation of energy equation is applied, equating potential energy and kinetic energy. It is noted that the magnetic field does not perform work on the bar, implying it does not affect the final velocity. The participants emphasize the need for a clearer diagram or description to aid in understanding the problem. Overall, the complexity of the scenario highlights the interplay between gravitational forces and magnetic effects in determining motion.

Homework Statement


We have a ramp with some angle theta. The metallic bar sitting on a ramp at height h. Also, we have some weight that attached by a rope to a metallic bar while hanging on the height h. There is a magnetic field with a magnitude B and direction k.
M = metallic bar
m = weight
height is the same for metallic bar and weight

Homework Equations


PE + KE = PE +KE
F = q*v*B

The Attempt at a Solution


Mgh + mgh = 0.5MV^2 + mgh(1+1/sin/tetha)

Solve for V.

Then I am lost because the magnetic field does not do work. Hence the final velocity is not changing due to a presence of a magnetic field.

This is going to require either a diagram or a far better description.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
