Metal rod rotating in magnetic induction.

AI Thread Summary
A metal rod of length 1/sqrt(pi) m rotates in a magnetic field of 5*10^-3 T, inducing an EMF of 1.5 mV. The problem requires applying Faraday's law to relate the induced EMF to the angular velocity of the rod. By considering a small element of the rod and its velocity in the circular motion, the total induced EMF can be calculated through integration. The solution involves determining the angular velocity (ω) to find the number of revolutions per second. Understanding these concepts is essential for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


A metal rod (1/sqrt(pi)) m long rotates about one of its ends in a plane perpendicular to magnetic induction of 5*10^-3 T. Calculate the number of revolutions made by the rod if EMF induced between the ends of the rod is 1.5 mV.

I have been thinking about this problem for a long time but in vain. I just don't understand where to start.Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I have been thinking about this problem for a long time but in vain.
I have tried using Faraday's law but can't figure out equation for ∅. I just don't understand where to start.Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Consider a small element dx of the rod at a distance x from the fix end. Suppose it is moving with a velocity v in the circular orbit.
Then the induced emf in this element dε = -vBdx. Put v = ωx.
To find the total induced emf, find the integration from zero to the given length of the rod.
In the problem emf is given. Find ω, which gives you the number of rotation per second.
 
Thank you sir/madam for your help.
 
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 .
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...
