I tried a Newton iteration method of Maxima tho solve the exact equation for m, but it did not converge. However a simple “trial by hand” works. Rewriting the equation to
delta theta – 2*integral… = 0
and evaluating the left hand side for m must lead to a “residuum” of zero. The residuum is graphed in the figure. The mass has been re-scaled to units of 10 power -57 for numerical stability. The result is
m = 1.859 * 10^-57 kg,
about 10% larger than in the simplified calculation. I think you predicted this range of precision for the approximation.
