The earth is an oblate spheroid, but so close that it has a moment of inertia about its spin axis roughly equal to 2/5 MR2. R is the radius of the earth. The gravitational system acting on the oblate spheroid (tilted away from the orbital plane of motion by 23.45 degrees) is equivalent to a force F and a couple M. The effect of the couple is to make the earth precess about a perpendicular to the orbital plane (precession of the equinoxes). Given that the time for a complete precession of the equinoxes is 25800 years.
Required:
Calculate the size of the couple (i. e the torque on the planet).

The car hoist allows the car to be driven onto the platform, after which the rear wheels are raised. if the loading from both rear wheels is 1380 lb, determine the force in the hydraulic cylinder ab. neglect the weight of the platform itself. member bcd is a right-angle bell crank pinned to the ramp at c. the force is positive if in tension, negative if in compression.

Which statements describe the movement of ocean currents around the globe? check all that apply. strong winds force warm water to sink to the ocean floor. the coriolis effect causes warm and cold water to mix. cool dense water sinks to the ocean floor. warm water replaces cool surface water. wind blowing parallel to the shore causes upwelling of cool water.
