PARAGRAPH FOR QUESTIONS 26 – 28

A horizontal rectangular plastic pipe of width w and height h, is filled with mercury of resistivity  . An
overpressure P is produced by a turbine which drives this fluid with a constant speed v0 . The two opposite vertical
walls of a section of the pipe with length L are made of copper.

The motion of a real fluid is very complicated. To simplify the situation we assume the following :
 Although the fluid is viscous, its speed is uniform over the entire cross-section.
 The speed of the fluid is always proportional to the net external force acting upon it.
 The fluid is incompressible.
The copper walls are electrically shorted externally and a uniform magnetic field B is applied vertically upward
only in this section. The set-up is illustrated in the figure, with the unit vectors xˆ , yˆ , zˆ to be used in the solution.
