Equilibrium – Numerical Problem
SOLID HEMISPHERE OF RADII R EACH, are placed in contact with each other with each other with their flat faces on a rough horizontal surface. A sphere of mass m and radius R is placed symmetrically on top of them. The normal reaction between the top sphere and any hemisphere assuming the system to be in state equilibrium is

How to determine the diameter of a rod using thread an meter scale?
You are given a sufficiently long piece of thread, a meter stick and a thin round shape iron rod. Explain how would you measure the diameter of iron rod by using given thread and meter stick.
Yosef asked
Answer:
Wind the thread over the rod closely a number of times say 20 and mark the end point. Now unwind it and measure the length of the thread used to wind over the rod.
This length = n x 2πr, where n is the no. of windings and r is the radius of the rod.
Therefore, the diameter of the rod = 2r = The length of wire used for ‘n’ windings /nπ
