How can I troubleshoot and verify my calculations for magnetic force?

AI Thread Summary
The user is struggling with part b of a magnetic force calculation, while parts a and c are correct. They received feedback requesting to show their work for better assistance. An image of their calculations was shared, but further verification of the numbers is advised. It's suggested to consult the instructor if the problem is machine-graded and to ensure all values were copied accurately from the textbook. Accurate verification of calculations is crucial for troubleshooting errors.

Homework Statement
A wire 48.3 cm long carries a 0.710 A current in the positive direction of an x-axis through a magnetic field with an x component of zero, a y component of 0.000410 T, and a z component of 0.00850 T. Find the (a) x, (b) y, and (c) z components of the magnetic force on the wire.
Relevant Equations
Force on a wire: F=i*(crossP(L,B))
I am getting a wrong answer for part b, however part a and c both are correct :
a. 0 N
b = -2.91E-3 N (WRONG)
c. 1.4E-4 N

The image i included shows you the work done. please let me know if u need more
 
I get the same answer as you. If this is a machine-graded problem, show your solution to whomever assigned it to you an ask about it. But before you do that, check the numbers again and make sure you copied everything correctly from the textbook.

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}...

Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'

Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
