Answer 3

The isotope Cobalt-60 has a nuclear mass of 59.933820 u
Calculate the Binding Energy of Cobalt-60 using the following information.
Mass of Proton: 1.007825 u
Mass of Neutron: 1.008665 u
1 u = 931.5 MeV

Answer 4

Binding energy= Mass Defect/proton number.
As calculated by vinn,
.5634u×931.5MeV/u=524.8071MeV
524.8071/27= 19.4343 MeV
