Question

Transcribed Image Text:### Nuclear Density
Nuclear matter is extremely dense.
#### (a) Calculation of Density
Calculate the density, in \( \text{kg/m}^3 \), of \( A \) neutrons in a sphere of radius \( r = r_0 A^{1/3} \), where \( r_0 = 1.2 \times 10^{-15} \) m.
#### (b) Finding the Diameter of a Sphere of Nuclear Matter
Find the diameter of a sphere of nuclear matter that would have the same mass as the Earth. The average radius of the Earth is \( 6.4 \times 10^6 \) m and the average density of the Earth is \( 5.5 \times 10^3 \text{ kg/m}^3 \).
