II Makes You Fall Faster In Boston
Than In Mexico City.
Did you know that You drop" faster
In Massachusetts than in Mexico?
For instance. If you were to fall from
a twenty story building in Boston you
would descend a lot faster than IL you
fell from the same height in the City
Of Mexico.
The principle Of this is quite simple
even If 1t does seem bit startling. It
Is merely that as one goes toward the
equator the force of gravity gets less
and less and the quickness Of descent
Of. falling body slower; and, while
doubtless you would feel just as un.
comfortable falling that distance in
one place as in another and the results
would be jIst rs disastrous, there are
times and things in which the differ
ence is not only perceptible, but worth
n notice
In Boston IL you were to fire hori
zontally with rife and your gun were
sixteen feet from the ground the bul
let fred would reach the ground one
second after it had left the rifle. But
II you were to take that same rife TO
the City of Mexico and fire It Off the
same distance from the earth 1t would
take one and one-half seconds to reach
the ground.
