Zorch, an archenemy of superman, decides to slow earth's rotation to once per 27.4 h by exerting an opposing force at and parall

el to the equator. superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows zorch can only exert a force of 3.98 ✕ 107 n (a little greater than a saturn v rocket's thrust). how long in seconds must zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (this period gives superman time to devote to other villains.)

If we assume that Earth is a solid sphere, then I = (2/5)mr² = (2/5) * 5.98e24kg * (6.371e6m)² = 9.71e37 kg·m² 
torque τ = Iα, but also τ = F*r = 3.98e7N * 6.371e6m = 2.54e14 N·m Since τ = τ, 2.54e14 N·m = 9.17e37kg·m² * α α = 3.61e-23 rad/s² 
ωo = 2πrads / (24h*3600s/h) = 7.27e-5 rad/s ω1 = 2πrads / (28h*3600s/h) = 6.23e-5 rad/s 
Plug in numbers t = 2/5 * (5.98 * 10^24 kg) * (6.37*10^6 m) * (7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s - 6.23 * 10^-5 rad/s) / (3.98*10^7 N) = 3.98*10^22 s = 1.26*10^17 yrs

Explain why you can only change one variable in an experiment
ohaa [14]
The purpose of an experiment is to LEARN the EFFECT of something.

The way you do that is to CHANGE the thing and see what happens.

You can change as many things as you want to.  But If you change
TWO things and observe the result, then you don't know which one
of them caused the effect you see. 

Or maybe BOTH of them working together caused it.  You don't know. 

So your experiment is not really much good.  You need to do it again.
