Q 21 why the is not downward?? it gains weight!
The wire runs into/out of page. Calculate i L x B.
Q22 why the direction is not out of paper, by right hand grip rule, 4 sides of the wire can produce a B-field which is out of paper!?

i L x B again. This time, solve for B.

What forces are exerted on AB and CD? On BC?

Don't be concerned with the direction of the B fields generated by the wire. Use the formula!
