the problem Is to destroy. or

by means of a counterbalancing
force.
Let us borrow a little Of the
simplified language OF the mathe-
maticians. We will let G stand
for centrifugal force, V for veloc-
lty, X for the radius of the earth
i. e., the distance from its sur
face to its centre, or, in the case
OF centrifugal force, the distance
from any point on the surface

of the earth under that point.
The force of gravity we will rep.

weight, but the acceleration of
motion toward the earth's center

Then we must have the almost

the Greek letter of that name.
The numerical value of Pi is
about 3.14.
