Question

The period of rotation of Mars is 1 day and 37 minutes. Determine its frequency of rotation in Hertz.

Answer 1

The frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

Given the following data:

• Period = 1 day and 37 minutes.

To find the frequency of rotation in Hertz:

First of all, we would convert the the value of period in days and minutes to seconds because the period of oscillation of a physical object is measured in seconds.

Conversion:

1 day = 24 hours

24 hours to minutes = $60$ × $24$ = $1440$ minutes

$1440 + 37 = 1477 \; minutes$

1 minute = 60 seconds

1477 minute = X seconds

Cross-multiplying, we have:

$X = 60$ × $1477$

X = 88620 seconds

Now, we can find the frequency of rotation of Mars by using the formula:

$Frequency = \frac{1}{Period}\\\\Frequency = \frac{1}{88620}$

Frequency of rotation = 0.0000113 Hertz

Therefore, the frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.
