\begin{array}{l} \text { Pitch }=\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{qB}} \mathrm{v} \cos \theta \\ \\ \text { Pitch }=\frac{2(3.14)\left(1.67 \times 10^{-27}\right) \times 4 \times 10^{5} \times \cos 60}{\left(1.69 \times 10^{-19}\right)(0.3)} \\\\ \text { Pitch }=0.04 \mathrm{~m}=4 \mathrm{~cm} \end{array}
