In the figure below, the magnetic field B is uniform and perpendicular to the plane of the figure, pointing out of the page. The conductor, carrying current I to the left, has three segments: (1) a straight segment with length L perpendicular to the plane of the figure, (2) a semicircle with radius R, and (3) another straight segment with length parallel to the x-axis. Find the total magnetic force on this conductor.
