27.72 .. CP A plastic circular loop has radius R, and a positive
charge q is distributed uniformly around the circumference of the loop. The loop is then rotated around its central axis, perpendicular to the plane of the loop, with angular speed v.

BIO Determining Diet. One method for determining the amount of corn in early Native American diets is the stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) technique. As corn photosynthesizes, it concentrates the isotope carbon-13, whereas most other plants concentrate carbon-12. Overreliance on corn consumption can then be correlated with certain diseases, because corn lacks the essential amino acid lysine. Archaeologists use a mass spectrometer to separate the 12C and 13C isotopes in samples of human remains. Suppose you use a velocity selector to obtain singly ionized (missing one electron) atoms of speed 8.50 km>s, and you want to bend them within a uniform magnetic eld in a semicircle of diameter 25.0 cm for the 12C. The measured masses of these isotopes are 1.99 * 10 -26 kg 112C2 and 2.16 * 10 -26 kg 113C2. (a) What strength of magnetic eld is required? (b) What is the diameter of the 13C semicircle? (c) What is the separation of the 12C and 13C ions at the detector at the end of the semicircle? Is this distance large enough to be easily observed? 27.74 .. CP An Electromagnetic Rail Gun. A conducting bar with mass m and length L slides over horizontal rails that are connected to a voltage source. The voltage source maintains a constant current I in the rails and bar, and a constant, uniform, vertical magS netic eld B lls the region between the rails (Fig. P27.74). (a) Find the magnitude and direction of the net force on the conducting bar. Ignore friction, air resistance, and electrical resistance. (b) If the bar has mass m, nd the distance d that the bar must move along the rails from rest to attain speed v. (c) It has been suggested that rail guns based on this principle could accelerate payloads into earth orbit or beyond. Find the distance the bar must travel along the rails if it is to reach the escape speed for the earth 111.2 km>s2. Let B = 0.80 T, I = 2.0 * 10 3 A, m = 25 kg, and L = 50 cm. For simplicity asssume the net force on the object is equal to the magnetic force, as in parts (a) and (b), even though gravity plays an important role in an actual launch in space. Figure P27.74 S
