A wooden wheel of radius R is made of two semicircular part (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross sectional area S and length L.L is slightly less than 2πR. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that its temperature rises by ΔT and it just steps over the wheel. As it cools down to surrounding temperature, it process the semicircular parts together. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is α, and its Young's modulus is Y, the force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is :

An insulating solid sphere of radius R has a uniformly positive charge density ρ. As a result of this uniform charge distribution there is a finite value of electric potential at the center of the sphere, at the surface of the sphere and also at a point out side the sphere. The electric potential at infinite is zero.
