A 0.480 kg, 37.5 cm long metal rod is sliding down two metal rails that are inclined 42 degrees to the horizontal. The rails are

Question

connected at the bottom so that the metal rod and rails form a loop that has a resistance of 52 ohm. There is a 2.0 T vertical
magnetic field through out the region of the rails. The rod starts from rest and there is no friction between the rod and the rails.
a) (3 points) What is the maximum speed of the rod?
b) (3 points) What is the induced current in the rod?
c) (2 points) How much electrical power is dissipated in the loop - calculate using electrical parameters?
d) (2 points) How much mechanical power is delivered to the loop - calculate using mechanical parameters?
