A proton is shot into a uniform 6.50 T magnetic field as shown below. The magnetic field is directed in the negative z-direction. The proton's velocity is 3.25 × 107 m/s directed at 28.5 degrees above the xy plane. The proton moves in a spiral trajectory inside the magnetic field. Calculate the pitch and radius of the trajectory.
