Answer

$B=0.9478096$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $\gamma=\frac{\Delta t}{\Delta t_{\circ}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\gamma=\frac{6.90}{2.20}=3.1364$....eq(1) We also know that $\gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-B^2}}$....eq(2) Comparing eq(1) and eq(2) we obtain: $3.1364=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-B^2}}$ After simplification, we obtain: $B=0.9478096$
