Problem 49
Geography Because of the forces caused by its rotation, Earth is an oblate ellipsoid rather than a sphere. The equatorial radius is 3963 miles and the polar radius is 3950 miles. Find an equation of the ellipsoid. (Assume that the center of Earth is at the origin and that the trace formed by the plane \(z=0\) corresponds to the equator.)
Problem 53
Consider a regular tetrahedron with vertices \((0,0,0),(k, k, 0),(k, 0, k),\) and \((0, k, k),\) where \(k\) is a positive real number. (a) Sketch the graph of the tetrahedron. (b) Find the length of each edge. (c) Find the angle between any two edges. (d) Find the angle between the line segments from the centroid \((k / 2, k / 2, k / 2)\) to two vertices. This is the bond angle for a molecule such as \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\) or \(\mathrm{PbCl}_{4}\), where the structure of the molecule is a tetrahedron.
