Question#02 A Rail Gun uses electromagnetic forces to accelerate a projectile to very high velocities. The basic mechanism of acceleration is relatively simple and can be illustrated in the following example. A metal rod of mass Dimm and electrical resistance K. rests on parallel horizontal rails (that have negligible electric resistance), which are a distance L apart, as shown in (Figure 1). The rails are also connected to a voltage source AV. so a current loop is formed. The vertical magnetic field, initially zero, is slowly increased. When the field strength reaches the value B080, the rod, which was initially at rest, begins to move. Assume that the rod has a slightly flattened bottom so that it slides instead of rolling. Use g for the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration B AV Find a, the coefficient of static friction between the rod and the rails Express the coefficient of static friction in terms of variables given in the introduction
