Name the instrument which is commonly used to measure the mass of a body. State how is it used?
उत्तर
Instrument commonly used to measure the mass of a body is the beam balance.
When we hold up the balance, we observe that when there is nothing on either pan, the beam is horizontal. The body whose mass is to be measured is placed on the left pan. The standard weight is put on the right pan. They are so adjusted that the beam is again horizontal on holding the balance up. The total of the standard weights gives the mass of the given body.

The unit of length convenient on the nuclear scale is a fermi : 1 f = 10– 15 m. Nuclear sizes obey roughly the following empirical relation : `r = r_0A^(1/3)` where r is the radius of the nucleus, A its mass number, and r0 is a constant equal to about, 1.2 f. Show that the rule implies that nuclear mass density is nearly constant for different nuclei. Estimate the mass density of sodium nucleus. Compare it with the average mass density of a sodium atom obtained in Exercise 2.27
