Question:

(a) Calculate the radii of 56141Ba and3692 Kr from Equation 40-1.

(b) Assume that after the fission of 235U into 141Ba and 92Kr, the two nuclei are momentarily separated by a distance r equal to the sum of the radii found in (a), and calculate the electrostatic potential energy for these two nuclei at this separation.

Compare your result with the measured fission energy of 175 MeV.

R = RAV3 40-1 41/3
