But if I took the room and placed it in space, the difference between point source gravity and uni-directional force acceleration should register two different results. With gravity measuring less than 90 degrees, and constant acceleration (1 g) measuring a true 90 degrees.
Actually think of a...
After converting the miles into feet - about 21 million feet, I used the calculator TI-BA2Plus - using tan -1, came up with 89.9999852 degrees. Thus proving the person is sitting in a sealed room on Earth, and not in a spaceship being constantly accelerated at 1g.
I hope this is interesting...
I am standing on the Earth's surface, I want to know the angle created with an Isosceles triangle 10' across by 3,960 miles on each side. I know the answer is just under 90 degrees, but need a more precise number.
The problem came up when discussing whether a...
