oh yeah, typo on the figure length is 1/6 m. also no mass is given i assume it cancels somewhere in the problem unless the answer is to have mass in it. (?)

This is what i have as far as forces: For the current coming out of the page: (Bottom right) a) Y-axis forces: (B1)(I1)Lsin(theta) = mg b) X-axis forces: (B1)(I1)Lcos(theta) = (B2)(I1)L Then the lower left looks like: a) Y-axis: Tsin(theta) = mg +...

Magnetism and Current Carrying wires (?) I have a homework problem my teacher gave and warned us it was "Very difficult". I've tried drawing out the forces and i think i have made some headway but the vector-nature of magnetism confuses me... For example, i see in some solutions the forces...
