Question:

At New York City, the earth's magnetic field has a vertical component of 5.2 × 10-5 T that points downward (perpendicular to the ground) and a horizontal component of 1.8 × 10-5 T that points toward geographic north (parallel to the ground). What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on a 6.0-m long, straight wire that carries a current of 28 A perpendicularly into the ground?
