erted simply to con-strain the body to move in a circle, and is consequentlynot felt as weight. This is equivalent to saying that thecentrifugal force acts on every body directly away fromthe centre of the circle in which it is moving. The di-rection of this force is indicated for the points E and… … describes a distance equal to the equatorial circumferencein 24 hours. In this way wre obtain / = .1112 feet-per-second per second. This value of /is about -^-9 of the value which g wouldhave at the equator if this influence did not exist; sinceIT — 289, it follows that, if the velocity of rotation…
