Answer #1

We are using the formula for this particular question as shown in image-

Where   = 4 x 10- 7 T m/A.

Than as per the question-

7.1 * 10-4 = ( 4 x 10- 7 ) (29 * I2) / (2 * 7.5 *10-2)

7.1 * 10-4 = ( 58 x 10- 5 ) *  (I2) / 7.5

I2 = (7.1*7.5) * 10 / 58

I2 = 9.18 A

For diretion, go with uploaded image-

Direction in wire 2 will bw upward.
