Well, let's see...a moment is approximately 2 minutes, and inertia is a 6 letter word, so the answer is 24.

Do you prefer to be 1st, 2nd, next, or last, and why?

A woodchuck doesn't chuck wood.


Does anyone else think of Alcoholics Anonymous when I am referred to as "AA"?

BTW... the moment of inertia of the earth is ~8x10^37 kg m^2

BTW:

The Earth is roughly an oblate spheroid, with the bulge occurring at the equator. Let A be the moment of inertia along an equatorial axis, and let C be the moment of inertia about the polar axis.

Then Lambeck (1980) gives

A =

C =



while Stacey (1977) gives

A =

C =

Lambeck, K. The Earth's Variable Rotation. Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press, p. 27, 1980.

Stacey, F. D. Physics of the Earth, 2nd ed. New York: Wiley, 1977.


But, the Earth is not actually a sphere, so there's different 'fudge factors'.

Darkness is the abscence of light, therefore the speed of darkness is the speed it arrives, therefore the same as the speed of the departure of light. The speed of darkness = the speed of light

(I hope you meant that literally... and not as a riddle.)
