A conducting cylinder of length L is placed on a rough horizontal floor. A horizontal magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the length of cylinder. `F_(1)" and " F_(2)` are the minimum forces required to move the cylinder for two possible directions of current, which can be passed through the cylinder. Calculate the coefficient of friction between the floor and the cylinder. Assume `F_(1) gt F_(2)`.
