Two long, parallel wires are hung by cords of length 5.0 cm, as shown in the accompanying figure. Each wire has a mass per unit length of 30 g/m, and they carry the same current in opposite directions. What is the current if the cords hang at 6.0° with respect to the vertical?
A copper rod of mass in and length L is hung from the ceiling using two springs of spring constant ft. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude pointing perpendicular to the rod and spring [coming out of tire page in tire figure) exists in a region of space covering a length w of the copper rod. The ends of the rod are then connected by flexible copper wire across the terminals of a battery of voltage V. Determine the change in the length of the springs when a current I runs through the copper rod in the direction shown in figure, (Ignore any force by the flexible wire.)
