Question: a ) Calculate BE A for 1 3 7 Ba , the rarer of the two most common barium isotopes, in MeV / nucleon .

a) Calculate BE A for 137Ba, the rarer of the two most common barium isotopes, in MeV/nucleon.(Assume 1 u =931.5 MeV/c2. Enter your answer to at least three decimal places.) MeV/nucleon (b) Calculate BE A for 138Ba in MeV/nucleon.(Most of barium is 138Ba.) Note that 138Ba has even numbers of both protons and neutrons. (Enter your answer to at least three decimal places.) MeV/nucleon Is the BE A of 138Ba significantly different from that of 137Ba?
