Insane Electromagnetic Induction Question. Challenge your brains! :D

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 :)
 
Physics news on Phys.org


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


Thanks, I got it :)
 
To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
