(a) Starting from the empirical relation for nuclear radius, derive an expression for the average nuclear density in terms of fundamental constants only. (a) Starting from the empirical relation for nuclear radius, derive an expression for the average nuclear density in terms of fundamental constants only. (b) Show explicitly that this density is independent of the mass number AA. (c) Using mp=1.67262×10−27 kgm_p=1.67262\times10^{-27}\,\text{kg}, mn=1.67493×10−27 kgm_n=1.67493\times10^{-27}\,\text{kg} and R0=1.2×10−15 mR_0=1.2\times10^{-15}\,\text{m}, calculate the numerical value of the nuclear density in kg\,m−3^{-3}.
