A sample containing sulfur (atomic mass 32.0 u), manganese (55.0 u), and an unknown element is analyzed in a mass spectrometer. As in the figure, the ions move around half a circle before striking a photographic plate. The sulfur and manganese ions are separated by 5.70 cm on the plate, and the unknown element strikes the plate 3.27 cm from the sulfur line. What is the mass of the unknown element?

A sample containing 12C, 16O, and an unknown isotope is analyzed in a mass spectrometer. As in the figure, the ions move around a semicircle before striking a photographic plate. The 12C+ and 16O+ ions are separated by 3.850 cm on the plate, and the unknown isotope strikes the plate 1.130 cm from the 12C+ ions. What is the mass of the unknown element?
