Document Summary
If the ball moves, then itll spin around the fulcrum in an elliptical orbit. They assumed that sunlight was a pure white colour: newton passed a rainbow through a second prism and saw that the rainbow recombined into the original sunlight. Then newton rewrote his chapter on the inverse square law on gravity in a way which showed that he derived this law from his own mathematical principles. Takes a larger force to spin a larger circle vs a smaller circle: consequence: the equatorial regions of the earth are being pushed outwards more than the polar regions. The imbalance of pulls creates a net pull downwards towards earth"s orbital plane. Their centre of mass would be exactly btwn them. Part 7: the search for longitude and the size of the solar system: longitude is the location"s angle east/west from the line of the 0 degree. Observatory in honour of its role to solve the longitude problem.
