Induced EMF: Find Flux for Rectangular Loop in z-y Plane

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the induced electromotive force (emf) in a rectangular loop situated in the z-y plane, with one rod moving in the x-direction at a specified velocity. The magnetic field is defined as B = (10/x) cos(100t) j, and the flux through the loop is expressed using a double integral. A correction is noted regarding the limits of integration, specifying that the lower limit for x should be 1, not 0, while the upper limit is adjusted to account for the rod's movement. Participants confirm that the equation can be simplified and integrated to find the induced emf. The focus remains on ensuring the accuracy of the flux equation for further calculations.

Can someone check my equation for flux. Thanks

A rectangular loop in the z-y plane is situated at t = 0 at the points (x=1,z=0), (x=1,z=5), (x=4,z=5), and (x=4,z=0). The rod of the loop with end points (x=4,z=0), and (x=4,z=5) is moving in the x-direction with a velocity
v=5\vec{i}m/s while the rest of the loop remains fixed. Find induced emf in the loop for all t

B = (10/x) cos100t j

\psi=\int_{s}B\cdot\,ds=\int_{xo=1}^{xo=4} \int_{z=0}^{5}\frac{10}{x}cos100t\vec{j}\cdot\, dx\,dz\vec{j}

Looks OK to me except the lower limit on the x integral should be 1, not zero, with xo = 4 in the upper limit. I assume you can simplify and integrate this.
 
Yes I can do that and then find emf.

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
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 hanging 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...
