To find the tangential force needed to stop the Earth in one year, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify Given Values - Angular velocity of the Earth, \( \omega_0 = 7.3 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{rad/s} \) - Final angular velocity, \( \omega = 0 \, \text{rad/s} \) (since the Earth needs to stop) - Moment of inertia of the Earth, \( I = 9.3 \times 10^{37} \, \text{kg m}^2 \) - Radius of the Earth, \( R = 6.4 \times 10^{6} \, \text{m} \) - Time to stop, \( T = 1 \, \text{year} = 365.25 \times 24 \times 60 \times 60 \, \text{s} \) ...
