A conducting rod slides down between two frictionless vertical copper tracks at a constant speed of 5.6 m/s perpendicular to a 0.57-T magnetic field. The resistance of the rod and tracks is negligible. The rod maintains electrical contact with the tracks at all times and has a length of 1.2 m. A 1.1- resistor is attached between the tops of the tracks. (a) What is the mass of the rod? (b) Find the change in the gravitational potential energy that occurs in a time of 0.27 s. (c) Find the electrical energy dissipated in the resistor in 0.27 s.
