Only struggling with (ii).

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



So ultimately after doing everything, calculating B(ε)-B(0) & assuming z>>1 and z2/A > 47

I find that B(ε)-B(0) > 0.048ε2A2/3

I don't really see how this tells me if the nuclei will spontaneously fission or not, I still haven't used the assumption R is proportional to A1/3 though.

Any help please?
