At a certain point on Earth's surface in the southern hemisphere, the magnetic field has a magnitude

Question:

At a certain point on Earth's surface in the southern hemisphere, the magnetic field has a magnitude of 5.0 × 10−5 T and points upward and toward the north at an angle of 55° above the horizontal. A cosmic ray muon with the same charge as an electron and a mass of 1.9 × 10−28 kg is moving directly down toward Earth's surface with a speed of 4.5 × 107 m/s. What is the magnitude and direction of the force on the muon?
