The radius $R$ of a nucleus of mass number $A$ can be estimated by the formula $R = (1.3 \times 10^{-15}) A^{1/3} \; m$. It follows that the mass density of a nucleus is of the order of $(M_{\text{prot}} \cong M_{\text{neut}} = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \; kg)$.

  • A
    $10^{24} \; kg \; m^{-3}$
  • B
    $10^{3} \; kg \; m^{-3}$
  • C
    $10^{17} \; kg \; m^{-3}$
  • D
    $10^{10} \; kg \; m^{-3}$
