Question

A thin 2.66 m long copper rod in a uniform
horizontal magnetic field has a mass of 42.7
g. When the rod carries a current of 0.216 A
directed perpendicular to the magnetic field,
it floats in the magnetic field.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s
2
.
What is the field strength of the magnetic
field?
Answer in units of T.
