Since the real distance is somewhat less, the meter is based on faulty calculations. Instead of changing the size of the earth to make g equal 10, why not redefine the meter as being one tenth of the speed acquired in free-fall during one second??? A lot simpler, it would seem to me. Anyway, you seem to be on the ball in quite a few areas! Kind regards, Nick in Cali, Colombia</p> Tue, 02 Aug 2005 09:19:01 -0700 brad comment 695 at http://ideas.4brad.com
