The binding energy per nucleon in helium-3 is 2.57 MeV/nucleon. Assuming a nucleon separation of 2.5 fm, determine (a) the gravitational potential energy per nucleoli and (b) the electrostatic energy per proton between the protons, (c) What is the approximate value of the internucleon potential energy per nucleon? (d) Do these results agree qualitatively with Table 11.2?
