When a charged particle moves at an angle of 17° with respect to a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force of magnitude F. At what angle (less than 90°) with respect to this field will this particle, moving at the same speed, experience a magnetic force of magnitude 2.4F?

Simple Problem, but I am not getting the correct answer. I think my trig is rusty, but I set up two equations and solved for X and I keep getting the wrong answer. Any insight will be awesome! Thanks!

Asin17 = F A = F/sin17

Asinx = 2.4 F

Fsinx/sin17 = 2.4F

sinx = 2.4*sin17

x = arcsin (2.4*sin17)
