A thin, light string is wrapped around the outer rim of a uniform hollow cylinder of mass 4.75 kg having inner and outer radii as shown in $\textbf{Fig. E10.25.}$ The cylinder is then released from
rest. (a) How far must the cylinder fall before its center is moving at 6.66 m/s? (b) If you just dropped this cylinder without any string, how fast would its center be moving when it had fallen the distance in part (a)? (c) Why do you get two different answers when the cylinder falls the same distance in both cases?

A short current element $\overrightarrow{dl}$ S = (0.500 mm)$\hat{\imath}$ carries a current of 5.40 A in the same direction as $\overrightarrow{dl}$. Point P is located at $\overrightarrow{r} =$ (-0.730 m)$\hat{\imath}$ + (0.390 m)$\hat{k}$ . Use unit vectors to express the magnetic field at $P$ produced by this current element.

Two parallel wires are 5.00 cm apart and carry currents in opposite directions, as shown in $\textbf{Fig. E28.12}$. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point $P$ due to two 1.50-mm segments of wire that are opposite each other and each 8.00 cm from $P$.

A square wire loop 10.0 cm on each side carries a clockwise current of 8.00 A. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at its center due to the four 1.20-mm wire segments at the midpoint of each side.

A very long, straight horizontal wire carries a current such that 8.20 $\times$ 10$^{18}$ electrons per second pass any given point going from west to east. What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field this wire produces at a point 4.00 cm directly above it?

Certain bacteria (such as $Aquaspirillum$ $magnetotacticum$) tend to swim toward the earth's geographic north pole because they contain tiny particles, called magnetosomes, that are sensitive to a magnetic field. If a transmission line carrying 100 A is laid underwater, at what range of distances would the magnetic field from this line be great enough to interfere with the migration of these bacteria? (Assume that a field less than 5$\%$ of the earth's field would have little effect on the bacteria. Take the earth's field to be 5.0 $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ T, and ignore the effects of the seawater.)
