+### Solution
+
+The mutual inductance between the solenoid and the coil is obtained by calculating the magnetic flux of the solenoid through the coil.
+
+The magnetic field inside the long solenoid is uniform and axial: $B = \mu_0 n I$, where I is the current in the solenoid and n is the number of turns per unit length.
+
+The bent coil is formed by two half-turns of radius r, each with area$ S = \pi r^2/2$.
+
+Their planes make angles $\alpha $and $\frac{\pi}{2}-\alpha$ with the solenoid axis, so their normals make angles $\frac{\pi}{2}-\alpha $and $\alpha$, respectively, with the direction of the field. The flux through each half-turn is $B\,S\cos\theta$, where $\theta$ is the angle between the normal and the field. Thus, the total flux is:
+
+$\Phi = B\frac{\pi r^2}{2}\left[\cos\!\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\alpha\right) + \cos\alpha\right] = \mu_0 n I\frac{\pi r^2}{2}(\sin\alpha + \cos\alpha)$
+
+The mutual inductance is $M = \Phi/I$ So
+
+$\boxed{M = \frac{1}{2}\,\mu_0 n \pi r^2 (\sin\alpha + \cos\alpha)}$
