Induced EMF and Current in a Shrinking Loop?

A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 165 cm , but its circumference is decreasing at a constant rate of 14.0 cm/s due to a tangential pull on the wire. The loop is in a constant uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.900 T , which is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the loop. Assume that you are facing the loop and that the magnetic field points into the loop. Find the magnitude of the emf induced in the loop after exactly time 2.00 s has passed since the circumference of the loop started to decrease.Express your answer numerically in volts to three significant figures. I worked the problem so many times and I keep obtaining the wrong answer! Please help me.

Circumference C= 2πr Rate of change of circumference is dC/dt = 2π dr /dt = – 0.14m/s ( GIVEN)Minus sign to denote the decrease in value.—————————————–A = πr^2 The rate of change of area dA/dt = 2πr dr /dt = – 0.14*r (Replacing 2π dr /dt by -0.14)———————————————————Initial circumference = 1.65 m In 2 second the C decreases by 2*0.14 = 0.28 mThe radius after 2 s is [1.65 – 0.28] / (2π) = 0.22 m ——————————————————-e = – d/dt {BA cos θ]e = – 0.9* dA/dt since cos θ = 1 and B = 0.9e = – 0.9 *dA/dt e = 0.9 *[0.14*r] (Substituting for dA/dt as – 0.14*r)e = 0.9 *0.14*0.22 (Substituting the value of r)e = 0.028 V==========================...
