A single-turn current loop, carrying a current of 3.20 A, is in the shape of a right triangle with sides 50.0, 120, and 130 cm. The loop is in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 67.5 mT whose direction is parallel to the current in the 130 cm side of the loop. What is the magnitude of the magnetic forces on each of the three sides? (a) the 130 cm side ___________N(b) the 50.0 cm side ___________N(c) the 120 cm side ___________N     (please show units. it really helps me out)
