Homework Statement
For a nucleus of A=220, estimate very roughly how many nucleaons would be at the surface.
Homework Equations
R0=1.5 x 10-15
r=A1/3 x R0
The Attempt at a Solution
Using the formulas, I calculated R to be 7.2441729 x 10-15
The book says that the number of nucleons at the surface and the total number of nucleons has a ratio of ~1/r
1/r= 1.3804 x 1014
I tried the following:
1.3804 x 1014 = 220/x
which didn't make sense...
what am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
