The Attempt at a Solution
(a) Shown.
(b) W = 975 MeV
(c) Initially nucleus has volume V. Splits into two smaller particles each with charge Q/2, and volume V/2. So for each particle, Q/2 and R*(1/2)1/3
So, W' ~ 2 * [(0.5)2/(0.5)1/3] = (0.5)2/3
ΔW = 360 MeV
I'm not sure if the volume of each is halved or not by their phrasing..
