Pie
Can anyone tell me the binding energy of a pie? Auric The Rad 00:00, Aug 23, 2004 (UTC)


 * The question is ill-defined. If you specify what type of pie you mean, and to what degree it is to be disassembled, it could fairly easily be calculated. However unless the disassembly is to be at least to atomic level, the calculations would be somewhat fiddly because pies are an irregular mixture of a large number of different materials. It might be a useful addition to the article to provide the detailed calculations for a neater example, such as a simple ionic compound like salt, or - even simpler - a symmetric gravitational assembly (a spherical rock in deep space).

 * The gravitational assembly is already covered in gravitational binding energy
