Earths rotation is gradually slowing-length of day increases

Reference no: EM13556329

Because Earth's rotation is gradually slowing, the length ofeach day increases: The day at the end of 1.0 century is 1.0 mslonger than the day at the start of the century. In 16 centuries, what is the total (in hours) of the daily increases in time (thatis, the sum of the gain on the first day, the gain on the secondday, etc.)?
