The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory once held the world record for creating the strongest magnetic field. For brief periods of time, their largest multi-shot pulsed magnet can produce magnetic fields in excess of 85 T. To see if such a strong magnetic field could pose health risks for nearby workers, calculate the maximum acceleration amax the field could produce for Na* ions (of mass 3.8 × 10-26 kg) in blood traveling through the aorta. The speed of blood is highly variable, but 45 cm/s is reasonable in the aorta. Amax = m/s²
