The magnitude of the force on each wire is F1 = I*B*L down (theeta is 90) and
F2 = mg - I*B*L down
A. Resulting torque = I*B*L*(w/2) - (mg - I*B*L)(w/2) = I*B*L*w - mg(w/2) = 0 (for balance)
B. Resulting torque = (I*A)*B - mg(w/2) = I*L*w*B - mg(w/2) = 0
gives the current I = mg/2BL

with rectangle loop and mass:

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your progress on the problem with the rectangle loop and mass. It sounds like you are on the right track, but are unsure about how to factor in the torque due to the mass.

One approach you can take is to use the equation for torque, which is force multiplied by the distance from the pivot point. In this case, the force would be the weight of the mass and the distance would be the perpendicular distance from the pivot point to the line of action of the weight. This will give you the torque due to the mass.

Additionally, it would be helpful to double check your calculations to ensure they are correct. You can also try using different methods or approaches to solve the problem and see if you get the same result.

I hope this helps and good luck with your work! If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Keep up the great work!

Best,

with rectangle loop and mass:

Hello, it sounds like you are having trouble incorporating the torque due to the mass in your calculations for the rectangle loop. This is a common issue that many scientists face when dealing with rotating objects. To properly address this issue, you will need to consider the mass distribution of the rectangle loop and how it affects its rotational motion.

One way to approach this problem is to use the concept of moment of inertia, which is a measure of an object's resistance to rotational motion. It takes into account the mass distribution and shape of an object. By calculating the moment of inertia for your rectangle loop, you can then use it to determine the torque due to the mass.

Additionally, it is important to make sure that you are using the correct equations and units in your calculations. Double-checking your work and consulting with colleagues or a mentor can also help verify if you are on the right track.

Remember, scientific research and problem-solving often involve trial and error. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and keep working towards finding a solution. Good luck!
