Problem

A 0.50 m0.50\,\text{m} straight wire pivoted at one end carries a constant current of 4.0 A4.0\,\text{A} in a region where the uniform magnetic field has magnitude 0.30 T0.30\,\text{T}. For what two angles between the wire and the field will the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire be exactly 0.45 N0.45\,\text{N}? Give both angles in degrees.
