A 550-turn horizontal solenoid is 15 cm long. The current in its coils is 38 A. A straight wire cuts through the center of the solenoid, along a 3.0-cm diameter. This wire carries a 22-A current downward (and is connected by other wires that don't concern us). What is the force on this wire assuming the solenoid's magnetic field points due east?
