### Problem Description

A metal strip 5.31 cm long, 0.640 cm wide, and 0.908 mm thick moves with constant velocity through a uniform magnetic field \( B = 1.24 \text{ mT} \)  directed perpendicular to the strip, as shown in the figure. A potential difference of 5.80 \( \mu \text{V} \) is measured between points \( x \) and \( y \) across the strip. Calculate the speed \( v \).

### Diagram Explanation

The provided diagram shows a rectangular metal strip moving with constant velocity \( \mathbf{v} \) upwards (indicated by a magenta arrow). The magnetic field \( \mathbf{B} \) is directed such that it points into the plane of the paper, represented by green crosses (× symbols). Points \( x \) and \( y \) are marked along the width of the strip, indicating where the potential difference is measured.

### Required Calculation

To solve for the speed \( v \), use the formula derived from electromagnetic induction principles in a moving conductor within a magnetic field:
\[ \epsilon = B \cdot v \cdot d \]

Where:
- \( \epsilon \) is the potential difference (5.80 \( \mu \text{V} \))
- \( B \) is the magnetic field strength (1.24 mT)
- \( v \) is the velocity of the strip (what we need to find)
- \( d \) is the width of the strip (0.640 cm)

Input fields for the solution (answer in the correct units):

- **Number**: [Input Field]
- **Units**: [Input Field; options like cm/s, m/s, etc.]

Make sure to rearrange the formula to solve for \( v \):
\[ v = \frac{\epsilon}{B \cdot d} \]

### Example Solution

To find the right answer, substitute values for \( \epsilon \), \( B \), and \( d \) into the formula:

\[ v = \frac{5.80 \times 10^{-6} \text{ V}}{1.24 \times 10^{-3} \text{ T} \times 0.00640 \text{ m}} \]
