Question:

A helium atom has a rest mass of mHe = 4.002603 u. When disassembled into its constituent particles (2 protons, 2 neutrons, 2 electrons), the well-separated individual particles have the following masses: mp = 1.007276 u, mn = 1.008665 u, me = 0.000549 u. How much work is required to completely disassemble a helium atom? (Note: 1 u of mass has a rest energy of 931.49 MeV.)
