Question:

(a) Assuming nuclei are spherical in shape, show that its radius (r) is proportional to the cube root of mass number (A).
(b) In general, the radius of a nucleus is given by r = r0A1/3, where r0, the proportionality constant, is given by 1.2 × 10-15 m. Calculate the volume of the 238U nucleus.
