Universal Gravitation

Problem 1.219

Calculate the ratios of the following accelerations: the acceleration \(w_{1}\) due to the gravitational force on the Earth's surface, the acceleration \(w_{2}\) due to the centrifugal force of inertia on the Earth's equator, and the acceleration \(w_{3}\) 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
