79. In proton-beam therapy, a high-energy beam of protons is BIO fired at a tumor. The protons come to rest in the tumor, deposit- ing their kinetic energy and breaking apart the tumor's DNA, thus killing its cells. For one patient, it is desired that 0.10 J of proton energy be deposited in a tumor. To create the proton beam, the protons are accelerated from rest through a 10 MV potential difference. What is the total charge of the protons that must be fired at the tumor to deposit the required energy?

A conducting rod is free to slide on two parallel conducting bars. A resistor is connected to the end of the bar. The conducting bar and the rod have negligible resistance. A constant magnetic field is directed perpendicularly into the page. The power dissipated in the resistor is 64 W. The constant speed of the rod is v=8.00 m/s. Find the magnitude of the applied force that is needed to move the rod with this constant velocity. Give your answer in N.
