Two lightweight rods 24 cm in length are mounted perpendicular to an axle and at 180 ∘ to each other. At the end of each rod is
a 480-g mass. The rods are spaced 42 cm apart along the axle. The axle rotates at 5.0 rad/s. (a) What is the component of the total angular momentum along the axle? (b) What angle does the vector angular momentum make with the axle? [Hint: Remember that the vector angular momentum must be calculated about the same point for both masses, which could be the cm.]
this is due to the existence of other forces called the strong nuclear forces that overcomes the repulsion forces between the protons and keeps the nucleons holding to each other also there is a type of energy that is called the nuclear binding energy and this energy also works on binding the components of the nucleus together
