Two very long parallel conducting wires carry currents I1 = 1 A, I2 = 2 A in opposite directions. They hang horizontally from pylons by pairs of insulating cables, each of length a = 1 m, and are a distance d << a apart. The wires have mass m per unit length and the cables make angle theta to the vertical. Find theta.    Show solving
