Homework Statement
The Earth rotates on its own axis once per day (24.0 hr). What is the tangential speed of the summit of a mountain (elevation 6409 m above sea level), which is located approximately on the equator, due to the rotation of the Earth? Take the equatorial radius of Earth to be 6379 km
I'm looking for the formula to help solve this problem
