A cyclotron used to accelerate protons has a uniform magnetic field of 0.45 T. If the inner radius of the dees is 39.0 cm, what is the maximum kinetic energy (in MeV) attainable by the protons? (Include 2 digit after the decimal point and maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer. Take elementary charge 1.6 x 10 -19 C, mass of proton 1.67 x 10 -27 kg and 1 eV=1.6 x 10-19 J.)
