The coil is placed in the magnetic field of a horseshoe magnet. The plane of the coil is at right angles to the field. The coil is then removed to a region where B = 0, and using an oscilloscope, the following signal is observed across the ends of the wires of the coil. Find Φ = ∫ℰdt (magnitude of integral). The vertical sensitivity is 10 mV/cm and the horizontal sensitivity is 20 ms/cm.

You need to compute the area of this triangle $$ \cfrac{1}{2}~base\times height $$ This will be the flux going through the coil and will be negative.

@ybarrap So basically I calculate the dimensions of the triangle. I found 4.9cm across(base) and 2.8cm down(height) . Then I applied the conversions "vertical sensitivity is 10 mV/cm and the horizontal sensitivity is 20 ms/cm" [ since the question asks for it in volt*s] . Then I calculated the area. Is there something wrong I'm doing ?

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

You are correct! Apply that conversion and you will end up with volts*s.
