Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 14CQ
Compare the magnitude of Earth's rotational momentum about its axis to that of the Moon about Earth. The tides exert a torque on Earth and the Moon so that eventually they will rotate with the same period. The object with the greater rotational momentum will experience the smaller percent change in the period of rotation will Earth's solar day increase more than the Moon’s period of rotation decreases? Explain.

- A sleeping area for a long space voyage consists of two cabins each connected by a cable to a central hub as shown in Figure P13.30. The cabins are set spinning around the hub axis, which is connected to the rest of the spacecraft to generate artificial gravity in the cabins. A space traveler lies in a bed parallel to the outer wall as shown in Figure P13.30.
