I have a number of difficult questions regarding this topic!

1. How to find the coeffients of the Liquid Drop model?

I have a table of atoms with their masses, and total binding energies.
Do I just fit the curve of the B/A vs A to get the coefficients?

2. In a Liquid Drop model, what would be the Z/A ratio for the most stable nuclei of the nucleons were not fermions?

This question seems nonsensical to me, since an inifinte number of bosons can occupy one state!
