Insane Electromagnetic Induction Question. Challenge your brains! :D

3940806294_7df6b3337c_b.jpg




F=BIL, F=mg




There is a B field acting on the rod so we resolve that.
I tried to resolve the other force vectors according to:
1. Force acting on rod by gravity
2. Force acting on rod by electromagnetic (F= BIL)

but I can't seem to see the link between velocity and force??

Thanks in advance guys :)

the electric force on wire is
[tex]\frac{Blvcos\theta}{R}.Blcos\theta=\frac{(Blcos\theta)^2}{R}v[/tex]
This force acts in opposite direction of the gravitational force.
