#Variable declaration
h=1.05*10**-34#j-s
M=1.7*10**-27#in kg
r=2*10**-15#in m

#Calculations
K=(h**2)/(M*r*r)
s=K* 6.24150647996E+12#converting to Mev
K_total_cm=2*s
k_incident=2*K_total_cm

#Result
print "The kinetic energy of incident nucleon is %d Mev"%k_incident

The kinetic energy of incident nucleon is 40 Mev

In [2]:
#Variable declaration
h=1*10**-34#j-s
r=2*10**-15#m
c=3*10**8#m/s

#Calculations
m_pi=h/(r*c)

#Result
print "The value of m pi is %.e kg"%m_pi
#Answer difference is because of round off

The value of m pi is 2e-28 kg

Tz=-0-0.5
print "\nThe value of Tz for Ko is %.1f"%Tz


#For Ko_dash
Tz=0+0.5
print "\nThe value of Tz for Ko- is %.1f"%Tz

The value of Tz for Ao is 0 
The value of Tz for K+ is 0.5 

The value of Tz for K- is -0.5

The value of Tz for Ko is -0.5

The value of Tz for Ko- is 0.5
