Question
Which property of nuclear force explains the constancy of binding energy per nucleon `((BE)/A)` for nuclei in the range 20< A < 170 ?
Solution
(1) Nuclear force is short range force
(2) Most of the nuclear reside inside the nucleus and not on surface
(3) Density of nucleus is independent of mass number
