OHH! Okay okay! I think I get it! Sorry for the many mistakes in values and units, I looked back in the textbook and corrected everything. μo = 4π*10-7 Tm/A density value is 8960 kg/m3 And then with 2*Fcos(30) = ρπr2*length*g, I can cancel lengths, the "2", and put it back into the other...

Here's what I have after I converted everything to meters: (0.0015m/2)2*π*(8.92kg/m3) = [(70A) * I2 * (4π*10-3 Wb/m2)]/(2π*0.038m) and I found I2 to be 4.27*10-6, so I am doing something very wrong...

Oh, yes! The length on the left side is supposed to be in the numerator to cancel. That is my mistake! I thought that I could calculate mg (in the equation F=mg) by using r2πρ*length, but I really am not sure that this is correct.. Would the direction be downward? μ0's units are Wb/m2. And...

Homework Statement In the figure, the top wire is 1.5 mm diameter copper wire and is suspended in air due to the two magnetic forces from the bottom two wires. The current flow through the two bottom wires is 70 A in each. Calculate the required current flow in the suspended wire. Homework...
