Chapter 8.6, Problem 8.6QQ
If global warming continues, it’s likely that some ice from the polar ice caps of the Earth will melt and the water will be distributed closer to the equator. If this occurs, would the length of the day (one rotation) (a) increase, (b) decrease, or (c) remain the same?

If the earth warms significantly, the polar ice caps will melt. Water will move from the poles, near the earth’s rotation axis, and will spread out around the globe. In principle, this will change the length of the day. Why? Will the length of the day increase or decrease?
if global warming continues it is likely that some ice from the polar ice caps of the Earth will melt and the water will be distributed closer to the equator. If this occurs , what would happen to the length of the day?
Must engineers take Earth’s rotation into account when constructing very tall buildings at any location other than the equator or very near the poles?
