The comparison of the forces in a small nucleus to the forces of a large one is the fact that they are capable of holding the protons and neutrons which made it no matter what their size may be. Therefore, as long as there is a nucleus, their forces can both hold together the two atoms tight.
The frequency of the pendulum is independent of the mass on the end. (c)
This means that it doesn't matter if you hang a piece of spaghetti or a school bus from the bottom end. If there is no air resistance, and no friction at the top end, and the string has no mass, then the time it takes the pendulum to swing from one side to the other <u><em>only</em></u> depends on the <u><em>length</em></u> of the string.
"This resolving power" was obviously stated earlier, somewhere before the point where you started copying. With no resolving power specified, there's actually no question, and so no answer.
The true scientific way is the last: using the water displacement method
