i've provided work that i started but just completely lost on this one

## Problem Description

**4.** *(a)* A 0.50 kg rectangular loop (0.4 m x 0.2 m) carrying 10.0 A is placed in a 1.20 T magnetic field as shown in the top Figure. Calculate the force experienced by each segment of the loop.

*(b)* Since the loop is hinged at points \( a \) and \( b \), it swings out of the plane and remains in (rotational) equilibrium at an angle \( \theta \) as shown in the bottom Figure. Determine the angle \( \theta \).

## Diagrams Explanation

### Top Diagram

The top diagram shows a rectangle labeled \( abcd \) lying in the plane. The dimensions of the rectangle are given as 0.4 m (length \( ad \) and \( bc \)) and 0.2 m (length \( ab \) and \( cd \)). The current \( I \) flows clockwise in the loop.

### Bottom Diagram

In the bottom diagram, there is a tilted rectangle demonstrating the loop swinging to an angle \( \theta \).

## Calculations

### Part (a)

The force \( F \) on a wire in a magnetic field is given by:

\[ 
F = I \cdot L \cdot B \cdot \sin(\theta)
\]

For segments:

- **\( F_{ab} \):**
  \[
  F_{ab} = 10 \cdot (0.2) \cdot (1.20) = 2.4 \, \text{N outwards}
  \]

- **\( F_{cd} \):**
  \[
  F_{cd} = 10 \cdot (-0.2) \cdot (1.20) = -2.4 \, \text{N inwards}
  \]

### Part (b)

- Torque due to magnetic force \( \tau_m = BIAL \sin(\theta) \)
- Torque due to gravity \( \tau_g = mgd \)

Setting torques equal for equilibrium:

\[ 
\tau_m = \tau_g 
\]

Given that

\[ 
2.4 \cdot \sin(\theta) = 0 
\]

Solving:

\[ 
\sin(\theta) = 0 
\]

Thus, \( \theta = 0 \, \text{degrees} \)
