2. Uranium-235 decays into Barium-141 and Krypton-92 via nuclear fission. (a) Calculate the radii of 14¹Ba and 32Kr from the equation R = R₁A¹/3, where Ro 56 = 1.2 fm. (b) Assume that after the fission of 235 U into ¹4¹ Ba and 92Kr, the two nuclei are momentarily separated by a distance r equal to the sum of the radii you found in part (a). Calculate the electrostatic potential energy for these two nuclei at this separation and compare your result with the measured fission energy of 175 MeV.
