A v-shaped metal rod completes a circuit while sliding without friction on a pair of rails in a uniform magnetic field. The rod is placed symmetrically between the rails, i.e. its vertex is right in the middle between the rails. The angle between the arms of the "v" is 132.45 degrees. B is uniform sliding v-shaped rod The mass of the rod is 382g. The resistor has a value of 2.09 ohm. The magnetic field has a strength of 6.40T and the distance between the rails is 1.25m. What is the force (in Newtons) pulling the rail downwards, when it moves downwards with a constant velocity 7.28 m/s? (Note that the magnetic field created by the current in the circuit is small compared to the external field and can be neglected.)
