Question

Imagine that a rope is tightly stretched around the Earth’s equator. Assuming that the Earth is a perfect sphere, imagine that the rope is taken off and 100 feet are added to it. The extended rope is put back around the equator so that the “gap” created between the new circle and the equator is the same all around.
