A science-fiction tale describes an
o blkh szo3okbx;4p9-jy:8 u: artificial "planet" in the form of a band completely encircling a sun (Fig. 5-40). The inhabitants live on the inside surface (where it is always noon). Imagine that this sun is exactly like our own
;bl-y o:k 8x shz9: 4k3ojubpo, that the distance to the band is the same as the Earth-Sun distance (to make the climate temperate), and that the ring rotates quickly enough to produce an apparent gravity of g as on Earth. What will be the period of revolution, this planet's year, in Earth days?
