edv got two correct, so I suggest he has a go :)
obviously edv is not with us at the moment, so to keep things moving.
Here is an easy question.
What country is this a picture of?
http://i1.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-co...san-marino.jpg
can't see the pic
It's quite an old building and the architecture tells me it's in Europe.
Bulgaria? :p
Looks like something in the hill cities of Italy.
Italy is my first guess too..
Italy was my first choice, so I'll say Greece instead
Spain?
you are all on the right track... there is a huge clue in the wording of the question :)
HmmmmmIs it the Republic of San Marino?Quote:

This equation is a mathematical expression of what geographical characteristic?
:stareup: It's easy for those who speak old chinese.......
not chinese... I see angular velocities, orbital periods, densities, gravitational constants, massive masses, ... the music of the spheres :andrea:Quote:

Looks to be a measure of force, based on variances of accelerations. So, I'll guess it's the measure of gravitational pull between planets?
You guys are on the right track, but it has to do specifically with the mass of the earth!!
I see an e for equator, a p for pole, a w for rotation, an M for massive mass of the Earth... the faster you spin the thicker you get :andrea:
A measure of the centrifugal force caused by the earth's rotation?
those aren't a for acceleration, think r for radius... a measure of Billy's missus' bulge around the belly when she spins ? :andrea:
That's it, an equation for equatorial bulge! :sailor: :angel:Quote:

it's actually an approximation for the flattening factor due to self gravity of a rotating fluid spheroid of constant density...
the faster you spin the thicker you get... over to schmonkey :sailor:
Don’t have Q ready so someone else have a go. I’m also trying real hard to get that image of Billy’s missus’ rotating belly out of my mind :s :uhoh:
Don't knock it 'till you try it! :p: :angel:Quote:

Definitely you can more. :p
