A uniform constant magnetic field B is directed at an angle of 4 5 o to the x-axis in the xy-plane, PQRS is a rigid square wire frame carrying a steady current I0 (clockwise), with its centre at the origin O.  At time t=0, the frame is at rest in the figure, with its sides parallel to the x & y axes. Each side of the frame is at rest in the figure, with its centre at the origin Ο. Each side of the frame is of mass M & length L.
(1) What is torque τ about Ο acting on the frame due to the magnetic field.
(2) Find the angle by which the frame rotate under the action of this torque in a short interval of time Δt, & the axis about which this rotation occurs (Δt is so short that any variation in the torque during this interval may be neglected).

Given: Moment of inertia of the frame about an axis through its centre perpendicular to its plane is 43ML2
