Net force on perpendicular wires?

Say you have a 5 cm current wire carrying 10 A going from left to right. Directly 1 c.m below the left end of this wire is a long wire that is perpendicular to the first wire and goes out of the page. What is the net force on the 5 cm wire?

I've tried using F=ILB with the I of the first wire and the B of the second wire.
