34.1 Exercise 24

Avg difficulty 2.5

The average particle energy needed to observe unification of forces is estimated to be 1019GeV\text{10}^{\text{19}} \text{GeV}. (a) What is the rest mass in kilograms of a particle that has a rest mass of 1019GeV/c2\text{10}^{\text{19}} \text{GeV}/ c^{2}? (b) How many times the mass of a hydrogen atom is this?
