A 275- m length of wire stretches between two towers and carries a 145- A current. Determine the magnitude of the force on the wire due to the Earth's magnetic field of 5.0 x10-5T which makes an angle of 72 with the wire. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
