Answer

(a) $7.0fm$ (b) $4.7fm$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can calculate the nuclear radius of $Au^{197}_{79}$ as $r=(1.2\times 10^{-15}m)A^{\frac{1}{3}}$ $\implies r=(1.2fm)(197)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ $r=7.0fm$ (b) We can calculate the nuclear radius of $Co^{60}_{27}$ as $r=(1.2\times 10^{-15}m)A^{\frac{1}{3}}$ $\implies r=(1.2fm)(60)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ $r=4.7fm$
