What is the magnetic force acting on the finite wire due to the fixed infinite wire shown here?

Strategy: We cannot use formula `vec(F) = i vec(l) xx vec(B)` to find the force as the magnetic field created by the fixed infinite wire is non-uniform. We have to consider an element on the finite wire, find force on it and integrate to obtain the net force.
