What is the expression for terminal speed in this homework statement?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the expression for terminal speed in relation to induced electromotive force (emf) in a loop. It clarifies that the induced emf, represented as ε, is not equal to Bvl when velocity is not constant. The correct relationship is established through the change in magnetic flux, leading to the equation ε = -dφ/dt. The constant magnetic field and the area of the loop are factored into the derivation, resulting in ε = BLv. Understanding these relationships is crucial for solving the homework problem effectively.

The Attempt at a Solution


I think ε≠Bvl because ε = - dø/dt=- Bd(v.t)/dt, v is not constant.
Why ε=Bvl?

The induced emf in the loop is related to the change in flux through a surface whose boundary is the loop: $$\epsilon = -\frac{\text{d} \phi}{\text{d}t} = -\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}t} \int_S \mathbf{B} \cdot \mathbf{dS}$$
In your case, the B field is of constant magnitude and direction and dS instantaneously is Ldx.

dø/dt = d(B. Area)/dt = d(BLx)/dt = BL dx/dt = BLv.

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...
