Adjoining figure shows a very long semicylindrical conducting shell of radius $R$ and carrying a current $i$. An infinitely long straight current carrying conductor is lying along the axis of the semi-cylinder. If the current flowing through the straight wire be $i_0$, then the force per unit length on the conducting wire is
