P=106watt Time 1 day=24 x36 x102 sec

Energy produced, 

U=Pt=106 x 24 x 36 x 102              =24 x 36 x 108 joule

Energy released for fusion reaction

=20 Mev

=32 x 10-13joule

Energy released per fusion

=32 x 10-13joule

Number of  fusion

=24 x 36 x 10832 x 10-13=27 x 1021  no of H 2 1  atoms involved 2×27×1021 Mass of 6  x 1023atoms = 2g

Mass of 2×27 x 1021 atoms =26 x 10232x 27 x 1021=0.2 g
