Why is the direction in which the D.C. motor turns reversed here?

    Direction Motor
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on a discrepancy between the direction of rotation of a D.C. motor in a worksheet and a textbook. The worksheet indicates that the motor turns clockwise, while the textbook states it turns anti-clockwise. Participants question the interpretation of the figures, particularly Figure 6.2, which shows movement but lacks clarity on the direction of rotation. There is confusion regarding the upward and downward movements of components A and D and how they relate to the overall rotation direction. Clarification on these points is needed to resolve the conflicting information.

I tried Fleming left hand rule and no matter what doesn't AB move downwards?

Where does it say it turns clockwise?

in fig 6.2, A moves upwards while D moves downwards so doesn't it mean clockwise?
 
I don't see anything in the figure which suggests A is moving upward and D is moving downward.
 
If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
