Acceleration due to rotation and orbit of the Earth A body is at rest at a location on the Earth's equator. Find its acceleration due to the Earth's rotation. [Take the Earth's radius at the equator to be 6400 km.]
Find also the acceleration of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. [Take the Sun to be fixed and regard the Earth as a particle following a circular path with centre the Sun and radius 15×1010 m.]
