How long to do 2 pi radians ? (a full circle)
1.06*10^-7 t = 2 pi
t = 5.93 * 10^7 seconds
how many seconds/day
1 day = 24*3600 s
= 86400 s = 8.64*10^4 s
5.93 *10^7 / 8.64*10^4
= 6.86 * 10^2 days
= 686 days
1.06*10^-7 t = 2 pi
t = 5.93 * 10^7 seconds
how many seconds/day
1 day = 24*3600 s
= 86400 s = 8.64*10^4 s
5.93 *10^7 / 8.64*10^4
= 6.86 * 10^2 days
= 686 days
