A piece of uniform string hangs vertical...

A piece of uniform string hangs vertically so that its free end just touches horizontal surface of a table. The upper end of the strig is now released. Show that at any instant during the falling of string, the total force on the surface is three times the weight of that part of string lying on the surface.

A pair of parallel horizontal conducting rails of negligible resistance shorted at one end is fixed on a table. The distance between the rails is L. A conducting massless rod of resistance R can slide on the rails frictionlessly. The rod is tied to a massless string which passes over a pulley fixed to the edge of the table, A mass m, tied to the other end of the string hanges vertically. A constant magnetic field B exists perpendicular to the table. If the system is released from rest, calculate. the terminal velocity achieved by the rod.
