Trouble Drawing Diagram: 10 A Current North, 42° East Magnetic Field

AI Thread Summary
To determine the location where a magnetic field is directed at 42 degrees above due east from a long straight wire carrying a 10 amp current due north, apply the right-hand rule. The magnetic field lines around the wire form concentric circles in a clockwise direction when viewed from above. To find the desired angle, identify a tangent line to the circle pointing east and then draw a line at a 42-degree angle above that tangent. This approach will help visualize the magnetic field direction relative to the wire. Understanding these concepts is essential for accurately drawing the diagram.

I am having trouble drawing the diagram.

Here is the question:
A long straight wire carries a 10 amo current due north. where are you if you experience a magnetic field that is directed at 42 degrees above due east?

Imagine a long straight wire suspended above the ground running from south to north. You can go under the wire or over it to any point surrounding the wire. Where are the points at which the magnetic field is pointing east, but at an angle of inclination (toward the sky) of 42 degrees

Use the right hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic field around the conductor. Look at the cross-section of the wire pointing north. The magnetic field lines form concentric circles directed in a clockwise direction. Find a tangent line to a circle that is pointing east and then find a tangent that is 42 degrees above that line. Does that help you?

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...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
