Calcium-41 is commonly used radioisotope in the study of osteoporosis. If calcium-41 has a mass of 40.962278 amu, determine the nuclear binding energy per nucleon in MeV. (1 amu = 1.66 × 10^-27 kg). (1 MeV = 1.60 × 10^-13 J)

Calculate the nuclear binding energy using Einstein's equation: \(E = \Delta m_{kg} \times c^2\) where \(c = 3.00 \times 10^8\) m/s is the speed of light. Then convert the energy from joules to MeV using the conversion factor \(1 \text{ MeV} = 1.60 \times 10^{-13}\) J. Finally, find the binding energy per nucleon by dividing the total binding energy by 41.
