Practice question

Given: What is the binding energy per nucleon for a nucleus with total binding energy of 112 MeV and mass number 14? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Binding energy per nucleon = E_b/A. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: E_b = 112 MeV, A = 14 . 112/14 = 8 MeV . Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.
