(a) Show that if you assume the average nucleus is spherical with a radius r = r0A1 / 3 , and with a mass of A u, then its density is independent of A .(b) Calculate that density in u/fm3 and kg/m3 ,for 56 Fe .
At the end of its life, a star with a mass of two times the Sun’s mass is expected to collapse, combining its protons and electrons to form a neutron star. Such a star could be thought of as a gigantic atomic nucleus.If a star of mass 2 × 1.99 × 1030 kg collapsed into neutrons (mn = 1.67 × 10−27 kg), what would its radius be? Assume r = r0 A1/3.
