Before entering a mass spectrometer, a beam of singly charged ions are filtered by a velocity selector with crossed electric and magnetic fields of E=23 V/m and B=35 mT, respectively, such that v, E and B are mutually perpendicular to one another. The ions entering the slit are forced to move in a semi-circular path due to the presence of a uniform magnetic field Bo=80 T perpendicular to the plane of the ion trajectory, and produce a spot a distance D=41 cm from the entrance slit, on a sensitive plate. Calculate the mass (in au, atomic unit) of an ion in the beam. Electronic charge e=1.6x10-19 c, 1 au=1.67×10-27 kg.
