A proton is bombarded on a stationary lithium nucleus. As a result of the collision, two `alpha`-particles are produced. If the direction of motion of the `alpha`-particles with the initial direction of motion makes an angles `cos^-1(1//4)`, find the kinetic energy of the striking proton. Given, binding energies per nucleon of `Li^7` and `He^4` are `5.60` and `7.06 MeV`, respectively.
(Assume mass of proton `~~` mass of neutron).
