Answer

We use the relativistic form of Newton’s second law. $F=2.04\times10^{-13}N $.

Work Step by Step

According to equation 37.33, in this situation where force and velocity are perpendicular, the force is $F=\gamma ma=\gamma m \frac{v^2}{R}$. $\gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^{2}/c^{2}}}=1.512$ $$F=(1.512)(1.67\times10^{-27}kg) \frac{((0.750)(3.00\times10^8m/s))^2}{628m}$$ $$F=2.04\times10^{-13}N $$
