The unit of length conventent on the nuclear scale is a fermi : `1f = 10^(-15)`m. Nuclear sized obey roughly the following empirical relation:
`r = r_(0)A^(1//3)`
Where r is the radius of the nucleus, A its mass number, and `r_(0)` is a constant equal to about, 1.2 f. Show that the rule implies that nuclear mass density is nearly constant for different nuclei. Estimate the mass density of sodium nucleus. Compare it with the average mass density of a sodium atom obtained in Exercise . 2.27.

How can nuclear density be calculated ?

For a nucleus which is nearly spherical in shape r=r_0 A^(1/3) , where r is the radius and A is the mass number and r_0 is a constant of value 1.2xx10^(-15) m. If the mass of the neutrons and protons are equal and equal to 1.67xx10^(-27) kg, prove that density of the nucleus is 2.3xx10^14 times the density of water.

The radius of nucleus: R=R_0A^(1/3) ( R_0 =constant, A=mass No.). Taking the relation, show that the nuclear density does not depend on mass number A.

R = R_0A^(1//3) ( R_0 = constant, A = Mass Number), R = radius of nucleus. Taking the relation show that of nuclear density does not depend on mass number A .
