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.
 
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 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
