The figure shows part of a circuit in which two wire segments are
carrying currents as shown. The segment along the z-axis has
length 4.0 m and that along the y-axis is 2.5 m long. Under the
presence of an externally applied magnetic field B of magnitude
0.7T and makes an angle with the z-axis = 20o, while its
projection in the xy-plane makes an angle with the x-axis = 37o.
Determine the force on each wire segment and the total force on
the wire.
