Chapter 29, Problem 15P
You are part of a team working in a machine parts mechanic’s shop. An important customer has asked your company to provide springs with a very precise force constant k. To measure the spring constant, you fasten two of the springs between the ends of two very long wires of length L, separated by the unstretched length ℓ of the springs as shown in Figure P29.15. The specific attachment method that you use insulates the springs from the wires so that no current passes through the springs. You lay the apparatus flat on a table and then pass a current of magnitude I through the wires, in opposite directions. As a result the springs stretch by a distance d and come to equilibrium. You determine an expression for the spring constant in terms of L, I, ℓ, and d.

An 80 kg astronaut has gone outside his space capsule to do some repair work. Unfortunately, he forgot to lock his safety tether in place , and he has drifted 5.0 m away from the capsule . Fortunately, he has a 1000 W portable laser with fresh batteries that will operate it for 1.0 h. His only chance is to accelerate him self toward the space capsule by firing the laser in the opposite direction. He has a 10-h supply of oxygen. How long will it take him to reach safety ?

Ammeter?
Q4: Show detailed work and pay attention to the units.
There are two different ways to calculate the potential difference across the bar, using the motional EMF expression or Faraday's Law. Show that both methods give
the same answer.
Use the right hand rule to figure out which end of the bar (A or B) will be at a higher potential due to the motion of the conductor in the field.
