Determine charge of a proton and mass of the tritium


You have a great summer job in a research laboratory with a group investigating the possibility of producing power from fusion. The device being designed confines a hot gas of positively charged ions, called plasma, in a very long cylinder with a radius of 2 cm. The charge density of the plasma in the cylinder is 6.0 x 10^(-5) C/m^3. Positively charged Tritium ions are to be injected into the plasma perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder in a direction toward the center of the cylinder so that its velocity is zero when it reaches the axis of the cylinder. Tritium is an isotope of Hydrogen with one proton and two neutrons. You look up the charge of a proton and mass of the tritium in your trusty Physics text to be 1.6 x 10^(-19) C and 5.0 x 10^(-27) Kg.
