The mass of helium atoms are higher than predicted given the number of protons. Helium atoms have an actual mass of about 4 amu. In fact, most atoms seem to be too heavy. Lithium is known to have 3 protons, but a mass of 7 amu, carbon atoms have 6 protons and a mass of 12 amu. Rutherford proposed the idea that there could also be another particle in the nucleus with the protons. He thought these particles would be neutral and named them neutrons.

How does the idea of a neutron help address the puzzles about the protons in the nucleus and the mass of atoms?

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.
