Lieber and co-workers used AFM to measure the adhesion force arising from the contact of CH3 groups. The adhesion force was 1.0 nN. If the tip/surface contact area was 3.1 nm2 and the radius of a CH3 group is (0.2)1/2 nm, calculate the interaction force resulting from the contact of two individual CH3 groups.
