Chapter 20, Problem 73AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The radius of a nucleus is proportional to the cube root of the mass number is to be shown and the volume of a ${}^{\text{238}}\text{U}$ nucleus is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The volume of a sphere is given by the following expression:

$\text{V = }\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Here, r is the radius of the sphere.

The proportionality sign in the equation can be removed by replacing it with the sign of equality and a constant.
