    Why don't I weigh more at the poles

    Sorry to tell you but the radius is different at the pole by 14 miles thus the gravity is different when compared to the equatorial radius.

    Why don't I weigh more at the poles

    Let's call the potential at the surface of the Earth 0 for convenience. The gravitational field at the poles is g1, so the potential 50 feet below the surface is -m*g1*h, where h=50. The gravitational field at the equator is g2, so the potential 50 feet below the surface is -m*g2*h, where h=50...

    Giant Iceberg Collision and Tsunami Risk

    The Iceberg itself is a few hundred feet above sea level and so is the shelf it is going to hit. If chunks break off from above it could cause one I would think.

    Why don't I weigh more at the poles

    "It is correct to note that the gravitational force at the poles is greater than the gravitational force at the equator, however. Not only will fg, the force due to gravity, be greater at the pole, but at the equator fc will oppose fg, making the total force f=fg+fc even lower at the equator (fc...

    Why don't I weigh more at the poles

    Nonetheless, the gravity potential at sea level at the poles is greater than the gravity potential at the equator because of the 14 mile difference in elevation. Therefore, the poles have a greater downward net force in this example.

    Giant Iceberg Collision and Tsunami Risk

    Could such an Iceberg cause a huge tsunami if it rams into and breaks off a giant slab of ice from the Drygalski Ice Tongue? http://www.livescience.com/forcesofnature/050114_iceberg_crash.html

    Deep Water Megalithic Stones and Structures Near Western Cuba?

    Liars.Every inch of the ocean floor has been mappped. Besides, the sub has ways to detect the ocean floor all around them.You think we would let a nuclear sub in an area that has not been mapped? No way no how..

    Huygens Office Pool Bets: Friday's Options

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to just send a Kodak camera from Wall Mart. It would be in color and the resolution would be a million times greater. :bugeye: :bugeye: :bugeye: You know one of those el chepo 5 dollar models

    Deep Water Megalithic Stones and Structures Near Western Cuba?

    The news is a few days old I read it on yahoo and the nuke sub looked to be a few hundred miles East of the quake on the other side of the islands 350 miles South of Guam. One sailor has sinced died in the accident.Very Sad. http://in.news.yahoo.com/050108/139/2iwr6.html

    We had color cameras in the 1950's for cryin out loud. I get better pictures at Wal Mart for cryin out loud. I agree with you.

    No wonder why the nuke submarine run aground a few days ago??

    They got all the pictures back they just are not telling us.They have numerous back up channels built in just in case they lose one. Liars!

    Mach 1 Torpedoes - Supercavitating Projectiles Underwater

    I wonder if you heated the front of this torpedo to create a gas bubble if it would work?
