So far in your life, you may have assumed that as you are sitting in your chair right now, you are not accelerating. However, this picture is not quite complete! You are on the surface of the Earth, which is rotating.
A) What is the acceleration of a person sitting in a chair on the equator?
B) At the equator, is your mass times the gravitational acceleration of the Earth greater than, less than, or equal to the normal force exerted on you by the chair you are sitting on? Explain.
C) A classmate of yours asks you why we have ignored this acceleration for the whole first term of physics. "Is everything we've learned a lie?" they ask. Assuage their fears by calculating the percent- age difference between the normal force from the chair and your weight while sitting on equator.
D) The latitude of Corvallis is 44.4'. What is your acceleration while sitting in your chair?
