F = 22.5 "N"

Explanation:

Let's use the equation F = B I L sin(theta); where B is the magnitude of the magnetic field, I is the current carried by the wire, L is the length of the wire, and theta is the angle the wire makes with the magnetic field:

Rightarrow F = 1.24 "T" cdot 12.8 "A" cdot 1.99 "m" cdot sin(45.4^(circ))

Rightarrow F = 1.24 "N" cdot "s" cdot "C"^(- 1) cdot "m"^(- 1) cdot 12.8 "A" cdot 1.99 "m" cdot 0.71202604599

Rightarrow F = 1.24 "N" cdot "s" cdot "A"^(- 1) cdot "s"^(- 1) cdot "m"^(- 1) cdot 25.472 "A" cdot "m" cdot 0.71202604599

Rightarrow F = 31.58528 "N" cdot 0.71202604599

Rightarrow F = 22.48954203 "N"

therefore F = 22.5 "N"

Therefore, the magnetic force on the wire is around 22.5 "N"
