Answer:
1) Our first step is to consider the method of images and assume an image dipole to be present along negative y-axis.
2) The distance between the conductor and dipole is r. So, the distance between dipole and its image will be 2r.
3) In order to find force, we need to find the interaction energy between the dipole and its image.
4) Interaction energy between them is
5) Hence, the force on the dipole is
