A calorie is a unit of heat or energy and it equals about 4.2 J where `1J = 1 kg m^2s^(-2)c`. Suppose we employ a system of units in which the unit of mass equals a kg, the unit of length equals R m, the unit of time y s? Show that a calorie has a magnitude`4.2 a^(-1) beta(-2) gamma2` in terms of the new units.

The unit of length convenient on the nuclear scale is a fermi : 1 f = 10^(-15) m. Nuclear sizes obey roughly the following empirical relation : r = r_0A^(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.
