A long rectangular conducting loop of width 30 cm is partially in a region of a horizontal magnetic field of 1.74 T perpendicular to the loop, as shown in the figure below. The mass of the loop is 14 g, and its resistance is 0.17 . If the loop is released, what is its terminal velocity? Assume that the top of the loop stays in the magnetic field. (Hint: The terminal velocity occurs when the magnetic force on the induced current is equal in magnitude to the gravitational force.) m/s
