11. A conductor suspended by two flexible wires as shown in Figure has a mass per unit length of 0.040 0 kg/m. What current must exist in the conductor in order for the tension in the supporting wires to be zero when the magnetic field is 3.60 T into the page? What is the required direction for the current?

Stellar evolution
We may see thousands of stars in the dark sky. Our universe consists of billions of stars. Stars may appear tiny to us but they are huge balls of gasses. Sun is a star of average size. Some stars are even a thousand times larger than the sun. The stars do not exist forever they have a certain lifetime. The life span of the sun is about 10 billion years. The star undergoes various changes during its lifetime, this process is called stellar evolution. The structure of the sun-like star is shown below.
Red Shift
It is an astronomical phenomenon. In this phenomenon, increase in wavelength with corresponding decrease in photon energy and frequency of radiation of light. It is the displacement of spectrum of any kind of astronomical object to the longer wavelengths (red) side.

**Problem Statement:**
A conductor suspended by two flexible wires, as shown in the figure, has a mass per unit length of \(0.0400 \, \text{kg/m}\). What current must exist in the conductor in order for the tension in the supporting wires to be zero when the magnetic field is \(3.60 \, \text{T}\) into the page? What is the required direction for the current?
---
**Diagram Explanation:**
The figure depicts a conductor suspended horizontally by two flexible wires within a magnetic field. The magnetic field is represented by yellow shading with green 'X's, indicating that the field is directed into the page. The conductor is shown in red.
**Analysis:**
In order for the tension in the wires to be zero, the magnetic force on the conductor must balance the gravitational force. The direction of the current must be such that the magnetic force opposes gravity. This involves using the right-hand rule to determine the current direction in relation to the magnetic field direction.
