Magnets direct the protons around and around until they travel outwards far enough to leave the magnetic field. The protons reach a final speed of 1.1×108 m/s when they leave the cyclotron. Suppose inside the cyclotron there is a uniform magnetic field downwards, with strength 0.4 T. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force, in piconewtons, on the proton at the moment it leaves the cyclotron? Assume the proton is travelling eastwards when that happens. Answer in piconewtons.
