The fastest possible rate of rotation of 79. III \ \ I I I
Chapter 13, Problem 80(choose chapter or problem)
The fastest possible rate of rotation of 79. III \ \ I I I a planet is that for which the gravitational force on material at the equator just barely provides the centripetal force needed for the rotation. (Why?) (a) Show that the corresponding shortest period of rotation is T=)37r Gp' where p is the uniform density (mass per unit volume) of the spherical planet. (b) Calculate the rotation period assuming a density of 3.0 g/cm3, typical of many planets, satellites, and asteroids. No astronomical object has ever been found to be spinning with a period shorter than that determined by this analysis.
