Question:
(a) Show that the energy associated with the strong force between nucleons in a nucleus is proportional to A, the mass number of the nucleus in question.
(b) Show that the energy associated with the Coulomb force between protons in a nucleus is proportional to Z (Z - 1).
(c) Show that, as we move to larger and larger nuclei (see Figure), the importance of the Coulomb force increases more rapidly than does that of the strong force.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
