Expert Solution

From the diagram, you can see that wire 1 has an attracting force from wire 3 at 0.04 m distance and a repelling force from wire 2 at 0.02 m distance.

 

Expression of the force is

F = µ*I1*I2*L/(2πd)

When d = 0.02 m,

F = (4*pi*10^-7*10*10*0.50) / (2*pi*0.02) = 0.0005 N

And when d = 0.04 m,

F = (4*pi*10^-7*10*10*0.50) / (2*pi*0.04) = 0.00025 N

 

(a) So, the net force on wire 1 = 0.005 - 0.00025 = 0.00025 N repelling, or upward.

(b) Wire 2 has equal repelling forces from wires 1 and 3, so net force = 0.

(c) By symmetry, the net force on wire 3 is the same means, 0.00025 N, but downward direction.

In the figure, we must apply a force of magnitude 82.0 N to hold the block stationary at x = -2.00 cm. From that position, we then slowly move the block so that our force does +7.00 J of work on the spring–block system; the block is then again stationary. What are the block's positions?
