Question: A rectangular loop with a length of 0 . 6 0 0 m , width of 0 . 4 0 0 m , and consisting

A rectangular loop with a length of 0.600 m, width of 0.400 m, and consisting of 167 tightly-wrapped turns is hinged along the y-axis and placed in a uniform magnetic field such that the plane of the loop makes an angle of 35.0\deg with the x-axis (see figure below). The magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.878 T and points in the positive x direction, and the current in the coil is 1.25 A.There are two diagrams, the second diagram is a top view of the first diagram. The first diagram shows the x y z coordinate space, with a rectangular loop with its bottom left corner at the origin. The loop then runs up the positive y axis for a distance of 0.6 m, and then runs out a distance of 0.4 m at an angle of 35 degrees away from the positive x axis towards the positive z axis. The loop then completes the rectangle. Along the top of the rectangle an arrow points away from the y axis and is labeled I =1.25 A. The second diagram shows the x and z planes, and that the rectangle extends 35 degrees below the x axis. The arrow labeled I points away from the origin in the top view.(a) Determine the magnitude of the torque exerted on the loop. N m(b) Determine the expected direction of rotation of the loop.The loop rotates clockwise as viewed from above.The loop rotates counterclockwise as viewed from above. The loop does not rotate.
