Chapter 8, Problem 2C
A cyclometer is a device mounted on a bicycle that records and displays trip information such as elapsed time, distance traveled, and average speed. Modern versions employ small magnets attached to a spoke on either the front or rear wheel and a sensor located on the front fork or rear frame. As the magnet is carried past the detector once each wheel revolution, it produces an electrical pulse that is recorded and logged by an integrated circuit in the device. The distance traveled equals the total number of revolutions multiplied by the circumference of the wheel.
(a) A typical mountain bike has a wheel diameter of 26 in. How far will a cyclist have traveled in both miles and kilometers if her cyclometer indicates that her front wheel has made 25,000 revolutions during her trip?
(b) If the cyclometer clock shows that the elapsed time for the trip was 2 hours and 40 minutes, what was the rider’s average speed during this period?

- You are working as an expert witness in a civil case. You have been hired by the attorney for a company that manufactures compasses. The company is being sued by a novice hiker who used one of the company’s top-level compasses. The hiker claims that the compass was defective, sending him off in a different direction from his desired direction. After taking off in the erroneous direction, he dropped and lost his compass so that he could not take subsequent measurements. As a result, he became lost for days, with the subsequent ill effects on his health and lost wages from missed days at work. The hiker has provided the exact location at which he took the erroneous compass reading. You take a trip to this location and look around. You notice that there is an electric power transmission line directly above your location, running in a north–south direction. Using trigonometry, you determine that the power line is a vertical distance of 6.65 m above the ground.

One day some medical students enter your lab for a training session. One of them asks about metal in the MRI room, and you clearly state that that is a dangerous situation. The questioner does not look convinced, so you provide the following example. Suppose a woman enters the MRI machine and has forgotten to remove a silver choker necklace. The necklace can be modeled as a ring of radius 7.50 cm. The cross section of the necklace is a rectangle of width 1.25 cm and thickness 0.300 cm. As the woman lies in the machine, the plane of the necklace is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines in the machine. Suddenly, there is a power failure, and the magnetic field in the MRI machine drops from 3.00 T to zero in 15.0 ms. To make the point to the students, determine the temperature change (in K) by which the necklace around the woman's neck rises. (Use any values in this table, this table, or this table).

At some instant of time, an electron is at the position shown in the figure, i.e. in the X-Y plane at a distance 4 cm from the wire, and is moving in the -Y direction (i.e straight towards the wire ) with a speed of V = 4.2x105 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the force on the electron at this point due to the current in the wire and write your answer in canvas in terms of 10-18 N.

Electroencephalograms and electromyograms respectively measure similar activity over the scalp and over the skin surrounding muscle cells. Because the electrical activity of the human body varies with time, the time-varying electric fields in the body lead to the generation of magnetic fields that can then be measured. The magnetocardiogram, developed in the 1960s, was the first such device. More recently, superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDS) have been used for these measurements. One important application of this technique is the monitoring of the fetal heart by measuring the magnetic field produced by currents in the heart at the surface of the mother's abdomen. The fetal heart at 28 weeks gestation can be modeled as a single-loop coil 1.50 cm in diameter, oriented so that the plane of the loop is parallel to the abdominal surface of the mother, and a magnetic field of 10.0 pT is typically…arrow_forwardA particle with mass 4x10-2 kg and charge +3 µC enters a region of space where there is a magnetic field of 1T that is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle.
