The force between two inert gas atoms is often described by a function of the formF = Ar−^13 −Br−^7 where A and B are positive constants and r is the distance between the atoms. Answer in terms of A and B. (a) What is the equilibrium separation? (b) What is the work done if the atoms are moved from their equilibrium separation to a very large distance apart?
