The figure below shows a conducting rod sliding along a pair of conducting rails. The conducting rails have an angle of inclination of θ = 32.0 degrees. There is a resistor at the top of the ramp that connects the two conducting rails (R = 1.5 ohms). The mass of the rod is 0.43 kg. The rod starts from rest at the top of the ramp at time t = 0. The rails have negligible resistance and friction, and are separated by a distance L = 15.3 m. There is a constant, vertically directed magnetic field of magnitude B = 1.40 T. What is the rod's terminal speed?

The figure below shows a conducting rod sliding along a pair of conducting rails. The conducting rails have an angle of inclination of θ = 32.0 degrees. There is a resistor at the top of the ramp that connects the two conducting rails (R = 1.5 ohms). The mass of the rod is 0.43 kg. The rod starts from rest at the top of the ramp at time t = 0. The rails have negligible resistance and friction, and are separated by a distance L = 15.3 m. There is a constant, vertically directed magnetic field of magnitude B = 1.40 T.

What is the rod's terminal speed?
