A proton moving in the plane of the page has a kinetic energy of 5.92 MeV. It enters a magnetic field of magnitude B = 1.15 T directed into the page, moving at an angle of θ = 45.0 deg with the straight linear boundary of the field, as shown in the figure below. Calculate the distance x from the point of entry to where the proton leaves the field. Determine the angle between the boundary and the proton's velocity vector as it leaves the field.
