Chapter 4, Problem 58P
A 2.0-kg mass and a 3.0-kg mass are on a horizontal friction-less surface, connected by a massless spring with spring constant k = 140 N/m. A 15-N force is applied to the larger mass, as shown in Fig. 4.24. How much does the spring stretch from its equilibrium length?

A rectangular current loop (a = 15.0 cm, b = 34.0 cm) is located a distance d = 10.0 cm near a long, straight wire that
carries a current (Iw) of 17.0 A (see the drawing). The current in the loop is IL = 21.0 A. Determine the magnitude of
the net magnetic force that acts on the loop.
