The mass of Mg-24 is 24.30506 amu, it contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons.
Theoretical mass of Mg-24:
The theoretical mass of Mg-24 is:
Hydrogen atom mass = 12 × 1.00728 amu = 12.0874 amu
Neutron mass = 12 x 1.008665 amu = 12.104 amu
Theoretical mass = Hydrogen atom mass + Neutron mass = 24.1913 amu
Note that the mass defect is:
Mass defect = Actual mass - Theoretical mass : 24.30506 amu- 24.1913 amu= 0.11376 amu
Calculating the binding energy per nucleon:

So approximately 4.41294 Mev/necleon
Answer:
The Sun-Earth-Moon system happens to exhibit a striking geometric coincidence, which we examine in the first problem. PROBLEM 1. To an observer on Earth, the Sun and the Moon subtend almost the same angle in the sky. The average angle is 0.52 degrees for the Moon and 0.53 degrees for the Sun.
