    2.72 m.

    Explanation:

    Using,

    F = BiLsin∅ ... Equation 1

    Where F = Force on conductor carrying current in a magnetic field, B = magnetic Field, i = current, L = Length, ∅ = angle between the wire and the magnetic field.

    make L the subject of the equation

    L = F/Bisin∅ ... Equation 2

    Given: F = 8.9*10⁻⁵ N, B = 6.4*10⁻⁵ T, i = 0.71 A, ∅ = 46°

    Substitute into equation 2

    L = 8.9*10⁻⁵ / [6.4*10⁻⁵ * 0.71*sin46°]

    L = 8.9/[6.4*0.71*0.72]

    L = 8.9/3.272

    L = 2.72 m.
