Answer

5.4 MeV. We begin here:

Work Step by Step

We arrived at this result using the formula in problem 6. We assumed $1=\Lambda^o$ $2=p$ $3=\pi^-$ And we put in the values of the rest mass energies. $E_1$ is the rest mass energy of $1$, $E_2$ is the rest mass energy of $2$ and $E_3$ is the rest mass energy of $3$. $K_2$ is the kinetic energy of $2$.
