Phosphorus-32 (t(1)/(2) = 14.3 d) undergoes β- radioactive decay and is used as a tracer in metabolic studies and to treat
some types of tumors in radiotherapy. i) Calculate the nuclear binding energy per nucleon(both in MeV) of phosphorus-32 (mp+ = 1.007277 amu; mn = 1.008665 amu; m (P) = 31.973907 amu).
