AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the current flowing through an aluminum rod sliding down tilted conducting rails in a vertical magnetic field. The rails are inclined at 30.0° and the magnetic field strength is 0.053 T. The rod, weighing 0.20 kg and measuring 1.6 m in length, moves at a constant velocity, indicating that the forces acting on it are balanced. The conversation highlights that the original poster has not demonstrated any prior work or understanding of the physics involved. The thread is ultimately redirected to a physics homework category for further assistance.

partscoretotalsubmissions1014/50The two conducting rails in the drawing are tilted upwards so they make an angle of 30.0° with respect to the ground. The vertical magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.053 T. The 0.20 kg aluminum rod (length = 1.6 m) slides without friction down the rails at a constant velocity. How much current flows through the bar?

?? If there are "points" involve then this is either homework or a test. Also it is clearly physics, not mathematics. And you have not shown that you have done anything yourself. You did just about everything wrong!
I'm moving this to physics homework.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

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...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
