A straight piece of conducting wire with mass and length

Chapter 27, Problem 27.69

(choose chapter or problem)

A straight piece of conducting wire with mass and length is placed on a frictionless incline tilted at an angle from the horizontal (Fig. P27.69). There is a uniform, vertical magnetic field at all points (produced by an arrangement of magnets not shown in the figure). To keep the wire from sliding down the incline, a voltage source is attached to the ends of the wire. When just the right amount of current flows through the wire, the wire remains at rest. Determine the magnitude and direction of the current in the wire that will cause the wire to remain at rest. Copy the figure and draw the direction of the current on your copy. In addition, show in a free-body diagram all the forces that act on the wire
