Question

Suppose two highly precise, identical clocks are synchronized and one clock is placed at the North Pole and one clock is placed at the equator. After 100 years, how much will the clocks differ in time? You can assume Earth is a perfect sphere of radius 6.37 x 106 m and makes one revolution in exactly 24 hours.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

(You may want to use a spreadsheet program that holds a lot of decimal places rather than your calculator to find your answer.)

Explanation / Answer
