It is the STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE of the neutron that keeps the nucleons of the atom together if nucleons can be brought to within 1 diameter of a proton or Neutron (3 to 5 femtometers (x 10^-15m)). The STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE is strongest of the 4 fundamental forces but it has the shortest range. Use the "Strength" factor listed in the chart to determine how many times greater is the STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE compared to the: a) Electromagnetic Force b) Weak Force c) Gravity . (Hint: use the simple strategy taught in class of BIGGER/smaller to determine the factor that a bigger number is compared to a smaller number)
Which of the following statements are true about the strong nuclear force?
(i) Its range is less than 10-15 m.
(ii) It is an attractive force.
(iii) It is stronger than the Coulomb force at large distance.

The magnitude of the force on a particle increases as the cube of the distance from that point, that is, F∝ r3, if the distance from the P to the position of the particle is r. It has been determined that the constant of proportionality is 0.23 N/m3, i.e. the magnitude of the force on a particle can be written as 0.23r3, when the particle is at a distance r from the force center. Find the magnitude of the potential energy, in joules, of a particle subjected to this force when the particle is at a distance 0.21 m from point P assuming the potential energy to be zero when the particle is at P.
