(a) Given that the mass of a nucleus of mass number A is approximately m = CA, where C is a constant, find an expression for the nuclear density in terms of C and the constant R₀ in Equation 40-1.

(b) Compute the value of this nuclear density in grams per cubic centimeter using the fact that C has the approximate value of 1 g per Avogadro's number of nucleons.
