Voltage difference of the wing of an airplane in Earth's magnetic fiel

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the voltage difference across an airplane wing in Earth's magnetic field. Key equations mentioned include B=F/|q0|vsinθ and V=IR, with a focus on the conversion of gauss to tesla for accurate calculations. The velocity of the airplane is given as 223 m/s, and the magnetic field strength is noted as 0.50 gauss. Participants suggest that the equation V = vBL sin θ may be more applicable to the problem. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for precise unit conversions and relevant equations in solving the problem.

Homework Equations



B=F/|q0|vsinθ

V=IR

The Attempt at a Solution



V=500m/h = 8.05m/h = 223m/s
L=35m
B=0.50gauss

0.50g=F/|q0|*223m/s*sin90

Wouldn't V = vBL sin θ be more to the point?
V=500m/h = 8.05m/h = 223m/s
I guess you mean v=500mph = 805kph = 223m/s

You need to change gauss to tesla.
Also, none of your proffered equations are directly relevant. Consider haruspex's suggestion.
 
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'
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...
