Two rigid rods are oriented parallel to each other and to the ground. The rods carry the same current in the same direction. The
length of each rod is 1.1 m, while the mass of each is 0.11 kg. One rod is held in place above the ground, and the other floats beneath it at a distance of 8.3 mm. Determine the current in the rods.

Answer:
I = 215.76 A
Explanation:
The direction of magnetic field produced by conductor 1 on the location of conductor 2 is towards left. Based on Right Hand Rule -1 and taking figure 21.3 as reference, the direction of force Fm due to magnetic field produced at C_2 is shown above. The force Fm balances the weight of conductor 2.
Fm = u_o*I^2*L/2*π*d
where I is the current in each rod, d = 0.0082 m is the distance 27rId
between each, L = 0.85 m is the length of each rod.
Fm = 4π*10^-7*I^2*1.1/2*π*0.0083
The mass of each rod is m = 0.0276 kg
F_m = mg
4π*10^-7*I^2*1.1/2*π*0.0083=0.0276*9.8
I = 215.76 A

Apparent frequency heard by the staff: 389 Hz
Explanation:
The phenomenon described in this situation is called Doppler effect.
Doppler effect occurs when there is a source emitting a wave in relative motion with respect an observer. In such situation, the frequency of the wave as perceived by the observer ("apparent frequency") is shifted from the real frequency of the sound ("proper frequency"). In particular:
- The observer perceives a higher frequency if the source is moving towards them
- The observer perceives a lower frequency if the source is moving away from them
The formula to calculate the apparent frequency in the Doppler effect is
where
f is the proper frequency
f' is the apparent frequency
v is the speed of the wave
is the velocity of the observer (positive if they are moving towards the source, negative if moving away)
is the velocity of the source (positive if it is moving away, negative if moving towards the observer)
First of all, in this problem we have to calculate the proper frequency of the sound wave emitted from the ambulance; we have:
v = 343 m/s (speed of sound wave)
(wavelength)
So the proper frequency is
Now we can calculate the apparent frequency heard by the staff at the hospital when the ambulance moves away; we have:
(velocity of the ambulance)
(velocity of the staff)
Substituting,
