The nuclear potential energy between the proton and the neutron in a deuterium nucleus (a hydrogen nucleus with a neutron) has an average value of 2.224 MeV. By how much does this interaction change the mass of the combined system in MeV/c 2 and kg? What is this as a fraction of the combined mass of the proton and the neutron?
