Answer

$\Phi = 85.2~Wb$

Work Step by Step

We can find the height of the bar above the vertex: $h = (5.20~m/s)(3.00~s) = 15.6~m$ We can find the area of the right angle triangle form by the bar and rails: $A = \frac{1}{2}bh$ $A = \frac{1}{2}(2h)(h)$ $A = h^2$ $A = (15.6~m)^2$ $A = 243.4~m^2$ We can find the magnetic flux through the triangle: $\Phi = A~B$ $\Phi = (243.4~m^2)(0.350~T)$ $\Phi = 85.2~Wb$
