Binding energy per nucleon of a fixed nucleus $X^A$ is $8 \ MeV$. It absorbs a neutron moving with kinetic energy $2 \ MeV$ and converts into $Y$,emitting two photons of energy $1 \ MeV$ and $4 \ MeV$ respectively one after the other. The binding energy per nucleon of $Y$ (in $MeV$) is:

The energy equivalent of $1.0 \text{ kg}$ of substance is . . . . . . .

Two nuclei of mass number $3$ combine with another nucleus of mass number $4$ to yield a nucleus of mass number $10$. If the binding energy per nucleon for the mass numbers $3$, $4$, and $10$ are $5.6 \text{ MeV}$, $7.4 \text{ MeV}$, and $6.1 \text{ MeV}$, respectively, then in the process, $\Delta Mc^2 = . . . . . . \text{ MeV}$.

If $M(A, Z)$,$M_p$,and $M_n$ denote the masses of the nucleus ${}_Z^AX$,proton,and neutron respectively in units of $u$ $(1u = 931.5 \text{ MeV}/c^2)$,and $BE$ represents its binding energy in $\text{MeV}$,then:

$A$ given coin has a mass of $3.0\; g$. Calculate the nuclear energy that would be required to separate all the neutrons and protons from each other. For simplicity, assume that the coin is entirely made of $_{29}^{63} Cu$ atoms (of mass $62.92960\; u$).
