A square loop and an infinitely-long straight wire (partly represented by the solid line) lie in a vertical x-y plane. The straight wire, which is parallel to the x- axis, carries a current of 5 A to the left, and the square loop carries a clockwise current of 7 A. The perpendicular distance from the straight wire to the top segment of the loop, which is parallel to the straight wire, is 0.6 m. The square loop has segments of length 0.2 m. top X bottom (a) Calculate the magnitude and determine the direction of the magnetic force exerted on the top segment of the loop by the straight wire. (b) What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force exerted on the straight wire by the top segment of the loop. Note: The magnitude in (a) and (b) must be a numerical value without any symbols. Specify direction as either +x, -x, +y, -y, +z, or -z.
