Suppose the magnitude of Nuclear force between two protons varies with the distance between them as shown in figure (4-Q1). Estimate the ratio Nuclear force / Coulomb force for (a) x = 8 fm (b) x = 4 fm, (c) x = 2 fm and (d) x = 1 fm (1 fm = 10 –15 m).

Suppose the magnitude of Nuclear force between two protons varies with the distance between them as shown in figure (4-Q1). Estimate the ratio "Nuclear force / Coulomb force" for (a) x = 8 fm (b) x = 4 fm, (c) x = 2 fm and (d) x = 1 fm (1 fm = 10^–15 m).
