AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a physics problem involving a conducting wire loop entering a magnetic field. Participants express confusion about how to determine the relationship between the speed of the loop entering the field and the speed at which it approaches the field. One user suggests creating a diagram to visualize the problem better. Another user admits to having attempted a solution but feels they lack necessary information. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the principles of magnetism in solving such problems.

Homework Statement


a loop of conducting wire approaches a constant magnetic induction into the paper, which is perpendiciular to the plane of the loop. How does the speed at which the loop enters the field compare with the speed at which it approaches the field?

(note: you really shouldn't be bumping threads)

Firstly, no clue at all how to solve? Do you have any attempt so far at this?

Secondly, try draw a diagram to help visualise the problem.

i have attempted to solve it, but I am missing some information needed to solve it. i already have the diagram with the problem.
 
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 '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...
