Answer

a) ${\bf 1}\;\rm N$ b) ${\bf 2.24}\;\rm T$

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ We know that the pulling power is given by $$P_{\rm input}=F_{\rm pull}v=\dfrac{v^2l^2B^2}{R}\tag 1$$ So, the pulling force is $$F_{\rm pull}=\dfrac{P_{\rm input}}{v}$$ Plug the known; $$F_{\rm pull}=\dfrac{ 4}{4}=\color{red}{\bf 1}\;\rm N$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ The strength of the magnetic field is given by solving (1) for $B$, $$B=\sqrt{\dfrac{F_{\rm pull} R}{vl^2}}$$ Plug the known; $$B=\sqrt{\dfrac{(1)(0.2)}{(4)(0.10)^2}}$$ $$B=\color{red}{\bf 2.24}\;\rm T$$
