A sphere with a radius of 12 m undergoes uniform circular motion with a period of 17 minutes.
Calculate the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration (in mm-s-2) of a point on the surface of the sphere at 22.6° N latitude.
In Example 4.6, we found the centripetal acceleration of the Earth as it revolves around the Sun. From information on the endpapers of this book, compute the centripetal acceleration of a point on the surface of the Earth at the equator caused by the rotation of the Earth about its axis
