A penny has a mass of 3.0 g. Calculate the energy that would be required to separate

Question:

A penny has a mass of 3.0 g. Calculate the energy that would be required to separate all the neutrons and protons in this coin from one another. For simplicity, assume that the penny is made entirely of 63Cu atoms (of mass 62.929 60 u). The masses of the proton plus-electron and the neutron are 1.007 83 u and 1.008 66 u, respectively.
