One component of a magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.0342 T and points along the +x axis, while another component has a magnitude of 0.0635 T and points along the -y axis. A particle carrying a charge of + 2.71 × 10-5 C is moving along the +z axis at a speed of 4.09 × 103 m/s. (a) Find the magnitude of the net magnetic force that acts on the particle. (b) Determine the angle that the net force makes with respect to the +x axis.
