A long horizontal wire carrying a current of 300A is held in place above another horizontal wire with a current of 200A in the opposite direction. If the top wire is allowed to fall under gravity, determine the distance (in centimeters) from the fixed wire at which the acceleration of the top wire goes to zero. Assume that the top wire has a mass per unit length of 55 g/m.
