O The ocean tides due to the Moon and the Sun O The gravitational force on the Earth by the Moon. The nearly circular orbit of the Moon around the Earth.
A science-fiction tale describes an artificial “planet" in the form of a band completely encircling a sun (Fig. 5–50). The inhabitants live on the inside surface (where it is always noon). Imagine that this sun is exactly like our own, that the distance to the band is the same as the Earth-Sun distance (to make the climate livable), and that the ring rotates quickly enough to produce an apparent gravity of g as on Earth. What will be the period of revolution, this planet's year, in Earth days? Sun FIGURE 5-50 Problem 88.
