Universal Gravitation

Problem 1.219

Calculate the ratios of the following accelerations: the acceleration w1w_{1} due to the gravitational force on the Earth's surface, the acceleration w2w_{2} due to the centrifugal force of inertia on the Earth's equator, and the acceleration w3w_{3} caused by the Sun to the bodies on the Earth.

Reveal Answer
w1:w2:w3=1:0.0034:0.0006w_{1}: w_{2}: w_{3}=1: 0.0034: 0.0006
