m The figure shows three very long wires with linear mass density 42. The wires run perpendicular to the page and each carry equal currents in the directions shown. The lower two wires are 6.3 cm apart and are fixed in place. What current will allow the upper wire to be suspended to form an isosceles triangle with the lower wires with the two bottom angles in the triangle being 55°?
