Question

Because Earth's rotation is gradually slowing, the length of each day increases: The day at the end of 1.0 century is 1.0 ms longer than the day at the start of the century. In 49 centuries, what is the total of the daily increases in time (that is, the sum of the gain on the first day, the gain on the second day, etc.)?

Step 1

Given that the day at the end of 1st century is 1.0 ms longer than the day at the start of the century, we can calculate the increase in length of each day in 1 century as 1.0 ms. Show more…
