Question

A stiff wire 59.0 cm long is bent at a right angle in the middle. One section lies along the z axis and the other is along the line y=2x in the xy plane. A current of 16.0 A flows in the wire-down the z axis and out the line in the xy plane. The wire passes through a uniform magnetic field given by B⃗ =(0.318i)T

Determine the magnitude and direction of the total force on the wire.
