U-shaped wire

A current $I=$ 6 [A] flows through a wire bent in the shape of a U. The direction that the current is flowing is given in the figure.

This wire segment is in a constant magnetic field,

\[ \begin{equation}\large \vec{B}= 2\hat{x} \hspace{0.5cm}\text{[T]} \end{equation} \]

What is the total force on the wire segment?

$\vec{F} = $ $\hat{x} + $ $\hat{y} + $ $\hat{z}$ [N]
