Question

In the plot of binding energy per nucleon versus mass number, you will note that the plot peaks around A 60. Nuclei below and above this value have a smaller binding energy. To prove this point determine the binding energy (in MeV) of 28 Ni, 626Fe with an A number of one less than 628Ni, and 639Cu with an A number of one greater than 638 Ni. (Let the mass of a proton be 1.0078 u, the mass of a neutron be 1.0087 u, the mass of 628 Ni be 61.9283 u, the mass of 626Fe be 60.9367 u, and the mass of 629 Cu be 62.9296 u. Enter your answers to at least two decimal places.) Mev 28 Mev
