Problem

In nuclear physics, particle masses are measured in energy units, when instead of mass m, the energy of mass mc² is given (1 MeV = 1.6 ⋅\cdot 10⁻¹⁹ J). Determine in MeV the masses of the electron, proton, π\pi⁰-meson, and ψ\psi-meson if the masses of these particles are 0.911 ⋅\cdot 10⁻²⁷ g, 1.673 ⋅\cdot 10⁻²⁴ g, 2.4 ⋅\cdot 10⁻²⁵ g, and 5 ⋅\cdot 10⁻²⁴ g, respectively.
