abstract algebra - Linear independence of nth roots over mathbbQ

I know that the set of square roots of distinct square-free integers is linearly independent over Q. To generalize this fact, define



Rn={nss integer with prime factorization s=pa11pakk, where 0ai<n}



For example, R2 is the set of square roots of square-free integers.



Question: Is Rn linearly independent over Q for all n2?



Harder (?) question: Is n2Rn linearly independent over Q?
