<span>You can start with the equations you know
a=v^2/r = (2pi*r/T)^2/r = 4pi^2r/T^2
Radius of earth (R) = 6378.1 km
Time in one day (T) = 86400 seconds
Latitude = 44.4 degrees
If you draw a circle and have the radius going out at a 44.4 degree angle above the center you can then find the r.
r=Rcos(44.4)
r=6378.1cos(44.4)
r= 4556.978198 km or 4556978 m
Now you can plug this value into the acceleration equation from above...
a= 1.8*10^8/7.47*10^9
a= .0241 m/s^2 </span>
Answer:
0.04225 Nm
Explanation:
N = Force applied = 5 N
= Coefficient of static friction = 0.65
d = Diameter of knob = 1.3 cm
r = Radius of knob = 
Force is given by

When we multiply force and radius we get torque
Torque on thumb

Torque on forefinger

The total torque is given by

The most torque that exerted on the knob is 0.04225 Nm
