The mass of an atom comes from the protons and neutrons that is found in the nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass of an atom. For example, sodium’s atomic number is 11. This will tell us that sodium has 11 protons in it. The atomic mass of sodium is 23. So subtract 23 form 11 gives us 12. Therefore, there are 12 neutrons in sodium.
We are given with two measurements of the arm and an input weight. To answer this problem,we need to balance the forces and use the lengths of the arms. 209 N * 8 m = x * 1.5 m x = 1114.67 N
