Question

MANTHAN RAO · Answer

AMSWER) Density is mass/volume,considering the mass of each nucleon is m and mass number is A(number of nucleons ) then total mass of nuclear matter is mA. Now, volume of nucleus,considering it to be perfect sphere is 4/3 x3.14 x r^3. nuclear radius is dependent on the cube root of A i.e A^1/3. so r^3 is dependent on A. hence nuclear volume is also dependent on A. both nuclear mass and volume is dependent on A,so when you divide them to find the nuclear density , it becomes independent of A..
