Determine the acceleration of point B on the equator of the earth, repeated here from Prob. 5/63.

Question:

Determine the acceleration of point B on the equator of the earth, repeated here from Prob. 5/63. Use the data given with that problem and assume that the earth’s orbital path is circular, consulting Table D/2 as necessary. Consider the center of the sun fixed and neglect the tilt of the axis of the earth.
