Question

Suppose an attractive nuclear force acts between two protons which may be written as $\text{F}=\text{Ce}^{-\text{kr}}/\text{r}^2.$

Write down the dimensional formulae and appropriate SI units of C and k.
Suppose that k = 1 fermi^-1 and that the repulsive electric force between the protons is just balanced by the attractive nuclear force when the separation is 5 fermi. Find the value of C.

Answer

Expression of electrical force $\text{F}=\text{C}\times\text{e}^{\frac{-\text{kr}}{\text{r}^2}}$
Since e^-kr is a pure number. So, dimensional formulae of $\text{F}=\frac{\text{dimensional formulae of C}}{\text{dimensional formulae of r}^2}$
Or, $\big[\text{MLT}^{-2}\big]\big[\text{L}^2\big]=$ dimensional formulae of $\text{C}=\big[\text{ML}^3\text{T}^{-2}\big]$
Unit of C = unit of force × unit of r² = Newton × m² = Newton-m²
Since -kr is a number hence dimensional formulae of
$\text{k}=\frac{1}{\text{dim entional formulae of r}}=\big[\text{L}^{-1}\big]$ Unit of k = m^-1

A traffic policeman sounds a whistle to stop a car-driver approaching towards him. The car-driver does not stop and takes the plea in court that because of the Doppler shift, the frequency of the whistle reaching him might have gone beyond the audible limit of 20kHz and he did not hear it. Experiments showed that the whistle emits a sound with frequency close to 16kHz. Assuming that the claim of the driver is true, how fast was he driving the car? Take the speed of sound in air to be 330m/s. Is this speed practical with today's technology?
