A loop formed by three identical uniform conducting rods each of length is suspended from one of its vertices so that it can rotate about horizontal fixed smooth axis . Initially plane of loop is in vertical plane. A constant current is flowing in the loop. Total mass of the loop is . At, a uniform magnetic field of strength directed vertically upwards is switched on. Acceleration due to gravity is . Then find the minimum value of so that the plane of the loop becomes horizontal (even for an instant) during its subsequent motion.
