Problem

A proton of speed 1.0×107 m s−11.0\times10^{7}\,\text{m s}^{-1} enters a 0.20 T0.20\,\text{T} magnetic field at an angle of 60∘60^{\circ}. After completing exactly five turns of its helical trajectory, the total length of the path traced by the proton is closest to a) 14.2 m14.2\,\text{m} b) 16.4 m16.4\,\text{m} c) 8.7 m8.7\,\text{m} d) 20.0 m20.0\,\text{m}
