The distance between telephone poles is 30.5 m in a neighborhood where the temperature ranges from -35 °C to 40 °C. If you hang a copper cable between two adjacent poles on a day when the temperature is 22.3 °C, what is the minimum length of the copper cable you must use for the cable to remain connected to the poles all year? Assume the cable is straight, and ignore the effect of gravity on the cable.

The ink drops have a mass m = 1.00×10-11kg each and leave the nozzle and travel horizontally toward the paper at velocity v = 24.0 m/s. The drops pass through a charging unit that gives each drop a positive charge by causing it to lose some electrons. The drops then pass between parallel deflecting plates of length Do = 2.25 cm , where there is a uniform vertical electric field with magnitude E = 7.85×104 N/C .<br />If a drop is to be deflected a distance = 0.300 by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plate, what magnitude of charge must be given to the drop? Assume that the density of the ink drop is 1000 , and ignore the effects of gravity.

A conductor bar with mass m and length L slides over horizontal rails that are connected to a voltage source. The voltage source maintains a constant current I in the rails and bar, and constant, uniform, vertical magnetic field B fills the region between the rails (as shown in Fig.)

1) Find the magnitude of the net force on the conducting bar. Ignore friction, air resistance, and electrical resistance.

2) What is the direction of the net force? to the left to the right

3)  If the bar has mass m, find the distance d that the bar must move along the rails from rest to attain speed v.

4)  It has been suggested that rail guns based on this principle could accelerate payloads into earth orbit or beyond. Find the distance the bar must travel along the rails if it is to reach the escape speed for the earth (11.2 km/s). Let B = 0.8 T , I = 2x103 A, m = 25 kg, L = 50 cm. For simplicity assume the net force on the object is equal to the magnetic force, as in parts (a) and (b), even though gravity plays an important role in an actual launch in space.

 

1. Mail Chute Through the Earth (40 points total)
Assume the Earth is sphere of radius R, has uniform density, massM,
and tunnel dug through the Earth from pole to pole. A box of massm
(very well wrapped!) is held just above the North Pole openingand
dropped from rest (see diagram). Assume:
· You can ignore friction and all effects due to the various
motions of the Earth
· The tunnel is so thin it has no measurable effect on the
gravitational field of the Earth.
a) Use Gauss’ law to find an expression for F(r), the magnitude ofthe gravitational force felt by mass
m at distance r from the center of the Earth, where r < R. (10points)
b) Show that m will move through the Earth in simple harmonicmotion. Find T, the period of that
motion. Use: MEarth = 5.98x1024 kg, REarth = 6.37x106 m, and G =6.67x10-11 N-m2/kg2 to get a
numerical answer. (8 points)
c) Use a computer program to draw a graph of a(r), (magnitude only,so it is positive at all points),
showing points from r = 0 to r = 2R outside the Earth). (10points)
NOTE: You do not have to show a derivation for F(r) for r >R.
d) Find a numerical value for vmax, the maximum speed of m, usingthe values for the constants given in
part b. (Initial conditions: ro = R, vo = 0.) (12 points)
HINT: One method is to use conservation of energy.
