3. Suppose in a given magnetic field strength B, an electron (charge -e, mass m) with kinetic energy of 400 electron volts circulates counterclockwise in a circle of radius 3.5 meters. Now suppose the X particle has charge +2e and unknown mass M. Then in the same magnetic field strength a 200 electron-volt X particle travels in a circle of radius 10.2 meters, what is M? Explain your reasoning.
