Question:
The radius of $R$ of a nucleus of mass number $\mathrm{A}$ can be estimated by the formula $\mathrm{R}=\left(1.3 \times 10^{-15}\right) \mathrm{A}^{1 / 3} \mathrm{~m}$. It follows that the mass density of a nucleus is of the order of:
$\left(\mathrm{M}_{\text {port. }} \cong \mathrm{M}_{\text {neut. }} \simeq 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}\right)$
Correct Option: , 3
Solution:
$\rho_{\text {weloss }}=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { volume }}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{(4 / 3) \pi r_{0}^{3} \mathrm{~A}}=\frac{3}{4 \pi r_{0}^{3}}=2.3 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}$
