Trying to pull two quarks apart would produce more quarks in groups, or hadrons. Suppose that when the separation reaches 1 fm (the approximate radius of a nucleon), the lightest hadron, a π0, is created.

(a) Roughly how much force is involved? (b) Compare this with the electrostatic force between two fundamental charges the same distance apart. Does your result agree with the strengths in Table 12.1?
