A long electricity distribution line is running current due eastfrom the power plant to one of its substations. Earth's magneticfield points roughly South-to-North throughout this entire area,but its magnitude varies from 25 µT near the plant to 64 µTnear the substation. If the part of the line near the plant feels aforce per unit length of 5.93 x 103 N/m due to Earth's magnetic -field, then what force would be felt by a 200 m section of linelocated near the substation? Be sure to specify the magnitudeand direction of the force in question.
