The rotor in a certain electric motor is a flat, rectangular coil with 89 turns of wire and dimensions 2.57 cm by 4.20 cm. The rotor rotates in a uniform magnetic field of 0.800 T. When the plane of the rotor is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, the rotor carries a current of 10.6 mA. In this orientation, the magnetic moment of the rotor is directed opposite the magnetic field. The rotor then turns through one-half revolution. This process is repeated to cause the rotor to turn steadily at an angular speed of 3.72 103 rev/min.
(a) Find the maximum torque acting on the rotor.
0.000815N

A 7.0-kg rock at a temperature of 30°C is dropped into a shallow lake at 30°C from a height of 1.0×10^5 m. What is the resulting change in entropy of the universe? (b) If the temperature of the rock is 100°C when it is dropped, what is the change of entropy of the universe? Assume that air friction is negligible (not a good assumption) and that c=860J/kg·K is the specific heat of the rock.
