Does anyone know the heuristic derivation of this formula? $$R=r_{0} \cdot A^{\frac{1}{3}}$$ with ##R## the atomic nucleus, ##r_0## the radius of a nucleon (proton or neutron) and ##A## the number of nucleons.
I know that there is a sperimental derivation, but I would find a theoretic/heuristic derivation.

I take it the "R" is the "radius" of the atomic nucleus. So all they're saying is that the total volume for radius R is the same as the the total of the volumes for each nucleon. Cubing both sides gives you ##R^3 = A r_0^3##. Then multiple both sides by 4/3 pi and you have volume=volume.
