Assume that the mass of a nucleus is approximately given by `M=Am_p`where A is the mass number.Estimate the density of matter in `kgm^-3`inside a nucleus.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C

Given `M = A_(mp)`
So, density `= M/V = (Am_(p))/(4/3piR_(0)^3 A)`
`= (3m_p)/(4 xx piR_(0)^3)`
`=(3 xx 1.007276u)/(4 xx 3.14(1.1 Fm)^3)`
`=3 xx 10^(17) kg//m`.
