We have talked about mass and energy, and now tie in the concept of force
Protons are positively charges and thus should repel. On a simple level, we know it requires energy to hold a nucleus together, and this is the binding energy
So we can all understand it, we can also examine it in terms of force. There must be a force that holds the protons together that is greater than the repulsive forces due to charge. This is the strong nuclear force
