Magnetic ball falling inside conducting tube

AI Thread Summary
A magnetic ball with a specific magnetization is falling through a conducting tube, and the problem involves understanding the physics behind its motion. The ball is not rotating and is influenced by its magnetization, which is oriented downward. The individual is unsure how to approach the mathematical aspects of the problem, despite having a general understanding of the physics. They found a relevant paper that discusses similar concepts using monopole approximations but are uncertain about applying a dipole approximation for their spherical case. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on how to express magnetic flux in this context.

Homework Statement


I have a magnetic ball with magnetization M, mass m and radius R that starts to fall from rest through conducting tube of radius a little big larger than R, thickness \Delta and conductivity \sigma. The ball is not rotating, it said that magnetization is oriented vertically down.

Homework Equations


Professor send me this problem, usually I know how to solve the problems that he sends me, but his one I don't know even how to start.

They here use approximation with two monopoles but in my case I have a sphere and I think I sound me approximation with a one dipole but I don't know how to write flux then?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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'

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'

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...
