document.write( "Question 1181472: A planet rotates on an axis through its poles and 1 revolution takes 1 day (1 day is 26 hours). The distance from the axis to a location on the planet north latitude is about 3365.5 miles. Therefore, a location on the planet at north latitude is spinning on a circle of radius 3365.5 miles. Compute the linear speed on the surface of the planet at north latitude. \n" ); document.write( "
