Is the Magnetic Field Causing Issues? Find Out Here!

AI Thread Summary
An ordinary bar magnet exhibits precession when placed in an external magnetic field due to the torque acting on it. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the relevant equations that govern this phenomenon, particularly those related to torque and precession. Participants emphasize the need to identify the equation that expresses precession in relation to torque. Additionally, the torque experienced by the bar magnet in the external field is a crucial component of this analysis. Clarifying these concepts is essential for a deeper understanding of the magnetic field's effects.

An ordinary bar magnet has a magnetic moment. You place it in an external magnetic field.
Does the bar magnet precess?

I think it does precess...but i don't know why :(
can anyone help? please~~~

There is a reason that the Homework Help Template that you deleted when posting asks for the Relevant Equations. What is the equation that expresses precession based on torque? What is a necessary component of the equation? What is the torque on a bar magnet in an externally applied magnetic field?
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

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}...
