How can I troubleshoot and verify my calculations for magnetic force?

Click For Summary
The user is struggling with part b of a magnetic force calculation, while parts a and c are correct. They received feedback requesting to show their work for better assistance. An image of their calculations was shared, but further verification of the numbers is advised. It's suggested to consult the instructor if the problem is machine-graded and to ensure all values were copied accurately from the textbook. Accurate verification of calculations is crucial for troubleshooting errors.

Homework Statement
A wire 48.3 cm long carries a 0.710 A current in the positive direction of an x-axis through a magnetic field with an x component of zero, a y component of 0.000410 T, and a z component of 0.00850 T. Find the (a) x, (b) y, and (c) z components of the magnetic force on the wire.
Relevant Equations
Force on a wire: F=i*(crossP(L,B))
I am getting a wrong answer for part b, however part a and c both are correct :
a. 0 N
b = -2.91E-3 N (WRONG)
c. 1.4E-4 N

I get the same answer as you. If this is a machine-graded problem, show your solution to whomever assigned it to you an ask about it. But before you do that, check the numbers again and make sure you copied everything correctly from the textbook.
 
If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
