Question
**Problem 5. Harder:**

"What 50 cm-long wire is immersed in a 4 T magnetic field as shown. From the wire is suspended a 200 g weight. What current (both direction and magnitude) is necessary to support the mass against gravity?"

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a horizontal wire with a direction of current labeled as "I = ?". There is a 200 g mass suspended in the middle of the wire. The magnetic field is represented by several "×" symbols, indicating the direction is into the page. The setup requires calculating the necessary current to balance the gravitational force on the 200 g mass using the magnetic force.
