Question
An apparatus consisting of a metal bar that is free to slide on metal rails is
presented in the left side of the diagram ("Front view"). The metal bar (blue) has
length L, mass m, and resistance R. The metal rails have negligible resistance
and are connected at the bottom, making a conducting loop with the bar.
The entire apparatus is tilted at an angle to the horizontal, as seen in the right
side of the diagram ("Side view"), and immersed in a constant magnetic field of
magnitude B that points in the +y direction. Gravity, as is tradition, points in the -y
direction.

Under these conditions, the bar moves at an unknown constant velocity
towards the closed-off bottom of the rails (down and to the right in the "side
view" diagram). Determine what is the unknown speed of the bar in terms of
quantities given in the problem (L, m, R, B, 0) and fundamental physical
constants such as g.
