The ancient Greek Eratosthenes found that the Sun casts different lengths of shadow at different points on Earth. There were no shadows at midday in Aswan as the Sun was directly overhead. 800 kilometers north, in Alexandria, shadow lengths were found to show the Sun at 7.2 degrees from overhead at midday. Use these measurements to calculate the radius of Earth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The  radius of the earth is [tex]r = 6365.4 \ km[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The distance at  Alexandria is  [tex]d_a = 800 \ km = 800 *10^{3} \ m[/tex]

      The angle of the sun is  [tex]\theta = 7.2 ^o[/tex]

So we want to first obtain the circumference of the earth

   So let assume that the earth is  circular ([tex]360 ^o[/tex])

  Now from question we know that the sun made an angle of [tex]7.2 ^o[/tex] so with this we will obtain how many  [tex](7.2 ^o)[/tex]  are in [tex]360^o[/tex]

 i.e    [tex]N = \frac{360}{7.2}[/tex]

=>      [tex]N = 50[/tex]

     With this  value we can evaluate the circumference as

             [tex]c = 50 * 800[/tex]

              [tex]c = 40000 \ km[/tex]

Generally circumference is mathematically represented as

        [tex]c = 2\pi r[/tex]

         [tex]40000 = 2 * 3.142 * r[/tex]

=>        [tex]r = 6365.4 \ km[/tex]

We can reasonably model a 75 W incandescent light bulb as a sphere 6.0 cm in diameter. Typically only about 5% of the energy goes to visible light; the rest goes largely to non-visible infrared radiation. (a) What is the visible light intensity at the surface of the bulb

Answers

Answer:

Visible light intensity at the surface of the bulb (I) = 331 W/m²

Explanation:

Given:

Energy = 75 W

Radius = 6 /2 = 3 cm = 3 × 10⁻² m

Energy goes to visible light = 5% = 0.05

Find:

Visible light intensity at the surface of the bulb (I)

Computation:

Visible light intensity at the surface of the bulb (I) = P / 4A

Visible light intensity at the surface of the bulb (I) = (0.05)(75) / 4π(3 × 10⁻²)²

Visible light intensity at the surface of the bulb (I) = 3.75 / 4π(9 × 10⁻⁴)

Visible light intensity at the surface of the bulb (I) = 331 W/m²

An archer practicing with an arrow bow shoots an arrow straight up two times. The first time the initial speed is vi and second

time he increases the initial sped to 4v. How would you compare the maximum height in the second trial to that in the first trial?

Answers

Answer:

The maximum height reached in the second trial is 16times the maximum height reached in the first trial.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

First trial

Initial speed (u) = v

Final speed (v) = 0

Second trial

Initial speed (u) = 4v

Final speed (v) = 0

Next, we shall obtain the expression for the maximum height reached in each case.

This is illustrated below:

First trial:

Initial speed (u) = v

Final speed (v) = 0

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h₁) =.?

v² = u² – 2gh₁ (going against gravity)

0 = (v)² – 2 × 9.8 × h₁

0 = v² – 19.6 × h₁

Rearrange

19.6 × h₁ = v²

Divide both side by 19.6

h₁ = v²/19.6

Second trial

Initial speed (u) = 4v

Final speed (v) = 0

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h₂) =.?

v² = u² – 2gh₂ (going against gravity)

0 = (4v)² – 2 × 9.8 × h₂

0 = 16v² – 19.6 × h₂

Rearrange

19.6 × h₂ =16v²

Divide both side by 19.6

h₂ = 16v²/19.6

Now, we shall determine the ratio of the maximum height reached in the second trial to that of the first trial.

This is illustrated below:

Second trial:

h₂ = 16v²/19.6

First trial:

h₁ = v²/19.6

Second trial : First trial

h₂ : h₁

h₂ / h₁ = 16v²/19.6 ÷ v²/19.6

h₂ / h₁ = 16v²/19.6 × 19.6/v²

h₂ / h₁ = 16

h₂ = 16 × h₁

From the above illustrations, we can see that the maximum height reached in the second trial is 16times the maximum height reached in the first trial.

A football is kicked with a velocity of 18 m/s at an angle of 20°. What is the
ball's acceleration in the horizontal direction as it flies through the air?​

Answers

Explanation:

It is given that,

The velocity of football is 18 m/s

It is projected at an angle of 20 degrees

We need to find the ball's acceleration in the horizontal direction as it flies through the air.

When it is projected with some velocity, it has two rectangular components i.e. horizontal and vertical.

In vertical direction, it will move under the action of gravity. There is no change in velocity in horizontal direction. So, ball's acceleration in the horizontal direction is equal to 0.

Answer:

A)     K / K₀ = 4   b)     v / v₀ = 4

Explanation:

A) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

in the problem it indicates that the displacement was doubled (x = 2xo)

starting point. At the position of maximum displacement

      Em₀ = Ke = ½ k (2x₀)²

final point. In the equilibrium position

      [tex]Em_{f}[/tex] = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        ½ k 4 x₀² = K

        (½ K x₀²) = K₀

         K = 4 K₀

          K / K₀ = 4

B) the speed value

          ½ k 4 x₀² = ½ m v²

          v = 4 (k / m) x₀

if we call

           v₀ = k / m x₀

          v = 4 v₀

         v / v₀ = 4

A wooden ice box has a total area of 1.50 m2 amd walls with an average thickness of 2.0 cm. The box contains ice at 0.0 oC. The inside of the box is kept cold by melting ice. How much ice melts in one day if the ice box is kept in the shade of tree at 29 oC. (Assume the thermal conductivity of wood is 0.16 kJ/s m oC

Answers

Answer:

m = 9.1 x 10⁶ kg

Explanation:

First, we need to find the rate of heat transfer through the box to the ice. For this purpose, we use Fourier's Law of Heat Conduction:

Q = KA ΔT/L

where,

Q = Rate Of Heat Transfer = ?

K = Thermal Conductivity = 0.16 KW/m.°C = 160 W/m.°C

A = Area = 1.5 m²

ΔT = Difference in Temperature = 29°C - 0°C = 29°C

L = Thickness of wall = 2 cm = 0.002 m

Therefore,

Q = (160 W/m °C)(1.5 m²)(29°C)/(0.002 m)

Q = 3.48 x 10⁶ W

Now, we find the amount of heat transferred in one day to the ice:

q = Qt

where,

q = amount of heat = ?

t = time = (1 day)(24 h/1 day)(3600 s/1 h) = 86400 s

Therefore,

q = (3.48 x 10⁶ W)(8.64 x 10⁴ s)

q = 3 x 10¹¹ J

Now, for mass of ice melted in a day:

q = m H

m = q/H

where,

m = mass of ice melted in a day = ?

H = latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.3 x 10⁵ J/kg

Therefore,

m = (3 x 10¹¹ J)/(3.3 x 10⁵ J/kg)

m = 9.1 x 10⁶ kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  refractive index of oil film is [tex]k = 1.48[/tex]

   The  thickness is [tex]t = 290 \ nm = 290*10^{-9} \ m[/tex]

   

Generally for constructive interference

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  spring constant is  [tex]k = 100 \ N/m[/tex]

      The  damping constant is  [tex]b = 8.0 *10^{-3} \ kg \cdot m/s[/tex]

       The mass is  [tex]m = 0.050 \ kg[/tex]

       The  maximum displacement is [tex]A_o = 1.5 \ m \ at t = 0[/tex]

Generally the displacement(Amplitude) of damped harmonic motion is mathematically represented as

           [tex]A(t) = A_o * e ^{ - \frac{b * t}{2 * m} }[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]A(5) = 1.5 * e ^{ - \frac{ 8.0 *10^{-3} * 5}{2 * 0.050} }[/tex]

The complete question is

NASA is giving serious consideration to the concept of solar sailing. A solar sailcraft uses a large, low-mass sail and the energy and momentum of sunlight for propulsion. (a) Should the sail be absorbing or reflective? Why? (b) The total power output of the sun is 3.9 x 10^26  W. How large a sail is necessary to propel a 10,000-kg spacecraft against the gravitational force of the sun? Express your result in square kilometers. (c) Explain why your answer to part (b) is independent of the distance from the sun.

a) The sail should be reflective because, an incident electromagnetic wave, in this case, light wave, impacts twice the energy density on a reflective sail, and hence twice the force on a totally reflective sail as would be impacted on a sail that is totally absorbing.

For totally reflective, F = (2I/c)A    ....1

for totally reflective, F = (I/c)A       ....2

where I is the intensity of the light

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

A is the area the sail

b) The intensity of the light from the sun = power/area

==> I = [tex]\frac{3.9*10^{26}}{4\pi r^{2} }[/tex]

where r is the distance from the sun and the sail

The Force from the sail from equation 1  is therefore

[tex]F[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2*3.9*10^{26}*A}{4\pi r^{2} *3*10^{8}}[/tex] = [tex]2.069*10^{17}\frac{A}{r^{2}}[/tex]

gravitational force between the sail and the sun [tex]F_{g}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{GMm}{r^{2}}[/tex]

where

G is the gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^−11 m^3⋅s−2⋅kg−1.

m is the mass of the sail = 10000 kg

M is the mass of the sun = 1.99 x 10^30 kg.

==> [tex]F_{g}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*1.99*10^{30}*10000}{r^{2}}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1.33*10^{24}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

Equating the forces, we have

[tex]2.069*10^{17}\frac{A}{r^{2}}[/tex]  =  [tex]\frac{1.33*10^{24}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

the distance cancels out

A = (1.33 x 10^24)/(2.069 x 10^17) = 6428226.196 m^2

==> 6428.2 km^2

c) The force of the solar radiation is proportional to the intensity of the sun from the light, and the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. Also, the force of gravitation  is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, so they both cancel out.

Consider two isolated spherical conductors each having net charge Q. The spheres have radii a and b, where b > a.
Which sphere has the higher potential?
1. the sphere of radius a
2. the sphere of radius b
3. They have the same potential

Answers

Answer:

1. the sphere of the radius a

Explanation:

Because the charge distribution for each case is spherically symmetric, we can choose a spher- ical Gaussian surface of radius r , concentric with the sphere in question.

So E = k (Q /r 2) (for r ≥ R ) , where R is the radius of the sphere being considered, either a or b .

With the choice of potential at r = ∞ being zero, the electric potential at any distance r from the center of the sphere can be expressed as V = - integraldisplay r ∞ E dr = k /Q r

(for r ≥ R ) .

On the spheres of radii a and b , we have V a = k (Q/ a)and V b = k (Q/ b), respectively.

So Since b > a , the sphere of radius a will have the higher potential.

Also recall Because E = 0 inside a conductor, the potential

When the mass reaches point A, it has a velocity of v downward and when the mass reaches point B its velocity is 5v. What is the distance between points A & B divided by the distance between points 0 & A?

Answers

Answer:

24

Explanation:

The mass = 3 kg

at point O all the mechanical energy of the system is due to its potential energy PE. The body is at rest.

PE = mgh

but ME = PE + KE = constant   (law of energy conservation)

KE is the kinetic energy

since KE is zero at this point, then,

ME = mgh

where m is the mass

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the height = O

ME = 3 x 9.81 x O

ME = 29.43-O

At point A the total ME is due to its PE and its kE

PE at this point = mgh = 3 x 9.81 x A = 29.43-A

KE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}[/tex]

velocity = v at this point, therefore,

KE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}*3*v^{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2} }v^{2}[/tex]

therefore,

ME = 29.43-A + [tex]\frac{3}{2} }v^{2}[/tex]

Equating ME for the points O and A, we have

29.43-O = 29.43-A + [tex]\frac{3}{2} }v^{2}[/tex]

29.43-O - 29.43-A = [tex]\frac{3}{2} }v^{2}[/tex]

(O - A)29.43 = [tex]\frac{3}{2} }v^{2}[/tex]

O - A = 0.051[tex]v^{2}[/tex]   this is the distance between point O and A

For point B

PE = 29.43-B

KE = [tex]\frac{25}{2}*3*v^{2}[/tex] = 37.5[tex]v^{2}[/tex]        (velocity is equal to [tex]5v[/tex] at this point)

therefore,

ME = 29.43-B + 37.5[tex]v^{2}[/tex]

Equating the ME for points A and B, we have

29.43-A + [tex]\frac{3}{2} }v^{2}[/tex] = 29.43-B + 37.5[tex]v^{2}[/tex]

29.43-A - 29.43-B = 37.5[tex]v^{2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{3}{2} }v^{2}[/tex]

(A - B)29.43 = 36[tex]v^{2}[/tex]

A - B = 1.22[tex]v^{2}[/tex]    this is the distance between points A and B

The distance between points A & B divided by the distance between points 0 & A will be

1.22[tex]v^{2}[/tex]/0.051 = 23.9 ≅ 24

A 60 mAs results in an exposure of 85 mGya, with all factors remaining the same, what would the new exposure be if 120 mAs is used?

Answers

Answer: d₂ = 170 mGya

Explanation:

the relationship between absonbed 'd' and exposure 'E' is given as;

D(Gv) = F . x (AS/xB)

F is a conversion coefficient depending on medium

so we can simply write

d₁/d₂ = x₁/x₂

Given that;

our x₁ = 60 mAs, x₂ = 120 mAs,  d₁ = 85 mGya, d₂ = ?

from the given formula,

d₂ = (x₂d₁ / x₁)

now we substitute

d₂ = (120 × 85) / 60

d₂ = 170 mGya

∴ if 120 mAa is used,  the new exposure will be 170 mGya

of radius 1.0 m? Give reasons. (4 marks]

Answers

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Given the following :

Velocity (V) of ball = 5m/s

Radius = 1m

Can the ball reach the highest point of the circular track

of radius 1.0 m?

The highest point in the track could be considered as the diameter of the circle :

Radius = diameter / 2;

Diameter = (2 * Radius) = (2*1) = 2

Maximum height which the ball can reach :

Using the relation :

Kinetic Energy = Potential Energy

0.5mv^2 = mgh

0.5v^2 = gh

0.5(5^2) = 9.8h

0.5 * 25 = 9.8h

12.5 = 9.8h

h = 12.5 / 9.8

h = 1.2755

h = 1.26m

Therefore maximum height which can be reached is 1.26m.

Since h < Diameter

The block moves up an incline with constant speed. What is the total work WtotalWtotalW_total done on the block by all forces as the block moves a distance LLL

Answers

Answer:

External force    W₁ = F L

Friction force    W₂ = - fr L

weight component   W₃ = - mg sin θ L

Y Axis   Force      W=0

Explanation:

When the block rises up the plane with constant velocity, it implies that the sum of the forces is zero.

For these exercises it is indicated to create a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular

let's write the equations of translational equilibrium in given exercise

X axis

        F - fr -Wₓ = 0

        F = fr + Wₓ

the components of the weight can be found using trigonometry

         Wₓ = W sin θ

         [tex]W_{y}[/tex] = W cos θ

let's look for the work of these three forces

          W = F x cos θ

External force

          W₁ = F L

since the displacement and the force have the same direction

Friction force

          W₂ = - fr L

since the friction force is in the opposite direction to the displacement

For the weight component

          W₃ = - mg sin θ L

because the weight component is contrary to displacement

Y Axis  

          N- Wy = 0

in this case the forces are perpendicular to the displacement, the angle is 90º and the cosine 90 = 0

therefore work is worth zero

Complete question:

A charge of 15C is moving with velocity of 6.2 x 10³ m/s which makes an angle of 48 degrees with respect to the magnetic field. If the force on the particle is 4838 N, find the magnitude of the magnetic field.

a. 0.06 T

b. 0.08 T

c. 0.07 T

d. 0.05 T

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.07 T.

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of the charge, q = 15C

velocity of the charge, v = 6.2 x 10³ m/s

angle between the charge and the magnetic field, θ = 48°

the force on the particle, F = 4838 N

The magnitude of the magnetic field can be calculated by applying Lorentz force formula;

F = qvBsinθ

where;

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

B = F / vqsinθ

B = (4838) / (6.2 x 10³ x 15 x sin48)

B = 0.07 T

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.07 T.

The linear density rho in a rod 3 m long is 8/ x + 1 kg/m, where x is measured in meters from one end of the rod. Find the average density rhoave of the rod.

Answers

Answer:

The average density of the rod is 1.605 kg/m.

Explanation:

The average density of the rod is given by:

[tex] \rho = \frac{m}{l} [/tex]    

To find the average density we need to integrate the linear density from x₁ = 0 to x₂ = 3, as follows:

[tex] \int_{0}^{3} \frac{8}{3(x + 1)}dx [/tex]

[tex] \rho = \frac{8}{3} \int_{0}^{3} \frac{1}{(x + 1)}dx [/tex]   (1)

Using u = x+1  →  du = dx  → u₁= x₁+1 = 0+1 = 1 and u₂ = x₂+1 = 3+1 = 4

By entering the values above into (1), we have:

[tex] \rho = \frac{8}{3} \int_{0}^{3} \frac{1}{u}du [/tex]

[tex]\rho = \frac{8}{3}*log(u)|_{1}^{4} = \frac{8}{3}[log(4) - log(1)] = 1.605 kg/m[/tex]

Therefore, the average density of the rod is 1.605 kg/m.  

       

I hope it helps you!    

The average density of the rod is  [tex]1.605 \;\rm kg/m^{3}[/tex].

Given data:

The length of rod is, L = 3 m.

The linear density of rod is, [tex]\rho=\dfrac{8}{x+1} \;\rm kg/m[/tex].

To find the average density we need to integrate the linear density from x₁ = 0 to x₂ = 3,  The expression for the average density is given as,

[tex]\rho' = \int\limits^3_0 { \rho} \, dx\\\\\\\rho' = \int\limits^3_0 { \dfrac{m}{L}} \, dx\\\\\\\rho' = \int\limits^3_0 {\dfrac{8}{3(x+1)}} \, dx[/tex]............................................................(1)

Using u = x+1  

du = dx

u₁= x₁+1 = 0+1 = 1

and

u₂ = x₂+1 = 3+1 = 4

By entering the values above into (1), we have:

[tex]\rho' =\dfrac{8}{3} \int\limits^3_0 {\dfrac{1}{u}} \, du\\\\\\\rho' =\dfrac{8}{3} \times [log(u)]^{4}_{1}\\\\\\\rho' =\dfrac{8}{3} \times [log(4)-log(1)]\\\\\\\rho' =1.605 \;\rm kg/m^{3}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the average density of the rod is  [tex]1.605 \;\rm kg/m^{3}[/tex].

a) true
b) false

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B.  false

Explanation:

Current in the same direction

 When current flow through to parallel conductors of a given length, when the current flows in the same direction

1. A force of attraction between the wires occurs and this tends to draw the wires inward

2. A magnetic field in the same direction is produced.

Current in opposite direction

when the current is in opposite direction

1. Force of repulsion between the two wires occurs, draws the wire outward

2. A magnetic field in opposite direction occurs

The advantage of a hydraulic lever is A : it transforms a small force acting over a large distance into a large force acting over a small distance. B : it transforms a small force acting over a small distance into a large force acting over a large distance. C : it allows you to exert a larger force with less work. D : it transforms a large force acting over a large distance into a small force acting over a small distance. E : it transforms a large force acting over a small distance into a small force acting over a large distance.

Answers

Answer:

A) it transforms a small force acting over a large distance into a large force acting over a small distance.

Explanation:

The hydraulic lever works based on Pascal's law of transmission of pressure through a fluid. In the hydraulic lever, the pressure transmitted is the same.

Pressure transmitted P = F/A

where F is the force applied

and A is the area over which the force is applied.

This pressure can be manipulated on the input end as a small force applied over a small area, and then be transmitted to the output end as a large force over a large area.

F/A = f/a

where the left side of the equation is for the output, and the right side is for the input.

The volume of the displaced fluid will be the same on both ends of the hydraulic lever. Since we know that

volume V = (area A) x (distance d)

this means that the the piston on the input smaller area of the hydraulic lever will travel a greater distance, while the piston on the larger output area of the lever will travel a small distance.

From all these, we can see that the advantage of a hydraulic lever is that it transforms a small force acting over a large distance into a large force acting over a small distance.

Answer:

Rp = 3.04×10² Ω.

Explanation:

From the question given:

1/Rp = 1/4.5×10² Ω + 1/ 9.4×10² Ω

Rp =?

We can obtain the value of Rp as follow:

1/Rp = 1/4.5×10² + 1/ 9.4×10²

Find the least common multiple (lcm) of 4.5×10² and 9.4×10².

The result is 4.5×10² × 9.4×10²

Next, divide the result of the lcm by each denominator and multiply the result obtained with the numerator as shown below:

1/Rp = (9.4×10² + 4.5×10²) /(4.5×10²) (9.4×10²)

1/Rp = 13.9×10²/4.23×10⁵

Cross multiply

Rp × 13.9×10² = 4.23×10⁵

Divide both side by 13.9×10²

Rp = 4.23×10⁵ / 13.9×10²

Rp = 3.04×10² Ω.

Answer:

The  value  is  [tex]f = 1.98918*10^{5}\ Hz[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The magnetic field is    [tex]B=1.2* 10^{-6} sin [2\pi[(\frac{z}{240} ) - ( \frac{t * 10^7}{8} ) ] ][/tex]

 This above  equation can be modeled as

       [tex]B=1.2* 10^{-6} sin [2\pi[(\frac{z}{240} ) - ( \frac{t * 10^7}{8} ) ] ] \equiv A sin ( kz -wt )[/tex]

So  

       [tex]w = \frac{10^7}{8}[/tex]

Generally the frequency is mathematically represented as

       [tex]f = \frac{w}{2 \pi}[/tex]

A rectangular coil having N turns and measuring 15 cm by 25 cm is rotating in a uniform 1.6-T magnetic field with a frequency of 75 Hz. The rotation axis is perpendicular to the direction of the field. If the coil develops a sinusoidal emf of maximum value 56.9 V, what is the value of N?
A) 2
B) 4
C) 6
D) 8
E) 10

Answers

Answer:

A) 2

Explanation:

Given;

magnetic field of the coil, B = 1.6 T

frequency of the coil, f = 75 Hz

maximum emf developed in the coil, E = 56.9 V

area of the coil, A = 0.15 m x 0.25 m = 0.0375 m²

The maximum emf in the coil is given by;

E = NBAω

Where;

N is the number of turns

ω is the angular velocity = 2πf = 2 x 3.142 x 75 = 471.3 rad/s

N = E / BAω

N = 56.9 / (1.6 x 0.0375 x 471.3)

N = 2 turns

Therefore, the value of N is 2

A circular loop of wire has radius of 9.50 cmcm. A sinusoidal electromagnetic plane wave traveling in air passes through the loop, with the direction of the magnetic field of the wave perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The intensity of the wave at the location of the loop is 0.0215 W/m2W/m2, and the wavelength of the wave is 6.90 mm.What is the maximum emf induced in the loop?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answers

Answer:

The induced emf  is  [tex]\epsilon = 0.1041 \ V[/tex]  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  radius of the circular loop is  [tex]r = 9.50 \ cm = 0.095 \ m[/tex]

     The  intensity of the wave is  [tex]I = 0.0215 \ W/m^2[/tex]

      The wavelength is  [tex]\lambda = 6.90\ m[/tex]

Generally the intensity is mathematically represented as

         [tex]I = \frac{ c * B^2 }{ 2 * \mu_o }[/tex]

Here  [tex]\mu_o[/tex] is the permeability of free space with value  

         [tex]\mu_o = 4 \pi *10^{-7} N/A^2[/tex]

B is the magnetic field which can be mathematically represented from the equation as

          [tex]B = \sqrt{ \frac{ 2 * \mu_o * I }{ c} }[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]B = \sqrt{ \frac{ 2 * 4\pi *10^{-7} * 0.0215 }{ 3.0*10^{8}} }[/tex]

          [tex]B = 1.342 *10^{-8} \ T[/tex]

The  area is mathematically represented as

       [tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

substituting values

       [tex]A = 3.142 * (0.095)^2[/tex]

       [tex]A = 0.0284[/tex]

The angular velocity is mathematically represented as

        [tex]w = 2 * \pi * \frac{c}{\lambda }[/tex]

substituting values          

       [tex]w = 2 * 3.142 * \frac{3.0*10^{8}}{ 6.90 }[/tex]  

        [tex]w = 2.732 *10^{8} rad \ s^{-1}[/tex]  

Generally the induced emf is mathematically represented as

        [tex]\epsilon = N * B * A * w * sin (wt )[/tex]

At maximum induced emf  [tex]sin (wt) = 1[/tex]

    So

         [tex]\epsilon = N * B * A * w[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]\epsilon = 1 * 1.342 *10^{-8} * 0.0284 *2.732 *10^{8}[/tex]  

         [tex]\epsilon = 0.1041 \ V[/tex]
