Question: A uniform bar has mass 0 . 0 1 4 0 kg and is 3 0 . 0 cm long. It pivots without friction about

A uniform bar has mass 0.0140 kg and is 30.0cm long. It pivots without friction about an axis perpendicular to the bar at point a in (Figure 1). The gravitational force on the bar acts in the y-direction. The bar is in a uniform magnetic field that is directed into the page and has magnitude 0.150 B .

Part A
What must be the current I in the bar for the bar to be in rotational equilibrium when it is at an angle 40.0 above the horizontal? Use the fact that =12IBL2 for a uniform bar of length L carring a current I in a magnetic field B.
