Calculate in the atomic mass units the mass of (a) a `Li^(8)` atom whose nucleus has the binding energy `41.3MeV`, (b) a `C^(10)` nucleus whose binding energy per uncleon is equal to `6.04 MeV`. |

Answer» (a) We have for `Li^(8)` `41.3MeV= 0.044361 am u=3Delta_(H)+5Delta_(n)-Delta` Hence `Delta=3xx0.00738+5xx0.00867-0.09436= 0.02248` amu (b) For `C^(10) 10xx6.04= 60.4MeV` `=0.06488` `=6 Delta_(H)+4Delta_(n)-Delta` Hence `Delta= 6xx0.00783+4xx0.00867-0.01678` amu Hene the mass of `C^(10) is 10.01678` |
