Short webpage title: Calculating Moments of Inertia and Magnetic Moment

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the moments of inertia (Ix, Iy, Iz) for a flat circular coil located in the x-y plane. The participants seek formulas for Iz, Ix, and Iy, specifically for a coil with n windings and radius r, centered at (0,0). Additionally, they explore the magnetic moment (μ) of the coil when a current (I) flows through it. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in defining the mass moment of inertia for a ring and the magnetic moment for a current loop. Overall, the thread emphasizes the relationship between physical properties of the coil and their mathematical representations.

Homework Statement


For any flat object, located in the x-y plan applies to the equation:
Ix+Iy=Iz

where Ix,Iy,Iz is the moments of inertia about the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis.
A flat circular coil has n windings and radius r. The mass of the coil is m. The coil is located in the x-y plan centered on (0,0). The coil moment of inertia about the z-axis is called Iz

a) Give a formula of Iz. Also specify a formula for Ix and Iy.

The coil has one turn. The current in the coil is I.
b) Give the magnetic moment μ of the coil.

The Attempt at a Solution



a+b) I am thinking of using the definition of the magnetic moment of a current loop, but i can't get further, can someone help please?

Kind of a strange question since it asks two completely different questions:

a) Do you know formula for the mass moment of inertia for a ring?

b) Yes, simply use the definition for a magnetic moment of a coil.
 
[
a) Do you know formula for the mass moment of inertia for a ring?

Is it K= rootof(Ic/m)?
 
No, it's Iz we're after.
 

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...

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...

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...
