(a) Write the empirical relation connecting the radius RR of a nucleus with its mass number AA and define each symbol used. (a) Write the empirical relation connecting the radius RR of a nucleus with its mass number AA and define each symbol used. (b) Using only this relation, explain why the average density of all nuclei is nearly the same, irrespective of their mass number. (c) State one physical implication of the result obtained in part (b) for the nature of the nuclear force.
