A semi circular current carrying wire having radius $R$ is placed in $x-y$ plane with its centre at origin $‘O’$. There is non-uniform magnetic $\vec B = \frac{{{B_o}x}}{{2R}}\hat k$ (here $B_o$ is + $ve$ constant) is existing in the region. The  magnetic force acting on semi circular wire will be along
