For uranium nucleus how does its mass vary with volume?(a) m ∝ V(b) m ∝ \(\frac {1}{V}\)(c) m ∝ √V(d) m ∝ V^2This question was addressed to me in exam.Question is from Atomic Masses and Composition of Nucleus topic in portion Nucleus of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) m ∝ V

Best explanation: MASS of NUCLEUS = Nuclear density × Volume.

The nuclear density of an atom is CONSTANT (10^-17 kgm^-3) for all nuclei, THEREFORE, the mass of the nucleus is directly proportional to the volume.
