A planet rotates on an axis through its poles and 1 revolution takes 1 day (1 day is 26 hours). The distance from the axis to a location on the planet 30° north latitude is about 3671.5 miles. Therefore, a location on the planet at 30° north latitude is spinning on a circle of radius 3671.5 miles. Compute the linear speed on the surface of the planet at 30° north latitude
