Hope Nobody
Hole Like Described Here
By I. HUGH PRUETT '
Ustnai
XsUaaMa DMstta.
Recently an eighth grade
science class sent me a list of
questions. The ' answers to
these msy be of interest to
readers.
1. "What is the surface
temperature of Pluto? Its di
ameter?" Whipple, the Harvard as
tronomer, has calculated that
the surface temperature of
Pluto, the most distant of all
known planets, must be less
than 348 degrees below zero
Fahrenheit The diameter of
this planet, by use of the new
200-inch telescope, was found
in 19S0 by Kuiper to be 3600
miles. This is smaller than
that of any regular planet
with the exception of Mer
cury. Our earth boasts , al
most 8.000 miles.
2. "What is the surface
temperature of the sun?"
This Is usually given as
around 10,000 degree Fahren
heit. This terrific heat would
evaporate a man Instantly.
3. "If a person would get
far out into space, what would
be down to him?"
Down to us is the direction
of the gravitational pull, or
Santa Will Wear

Albany It will be dry sled

band.
Bruno Rath, chairman of the
visit for the Albany Chamber
of Commerce, said instead of

and hia reindeer will be

over the traditional Yuletide
regalia.

Drops Us Into
Or hoc kttMr Uac.Uoa anUal
the direction things will fall
when released without any
support This is toward the
center of the earth. From
this it Is easily seen that down
is not the same direction by
any means to all the Inhabi
tants o( our world. The side
of the earth opposite from us
is In the Indian ocean between
Australia and Madagascar.
Let us suppose an inhabited
island Is located there. Down
for the islanders Is the direc
tion we call up.
If we get far out Into space
but where the earth's attrac
tive force is still practically
all that affects us, down is to
ward the earth. If we arrive
where two planets are each
exerting considerable force,
then clown will be the result
ant of these forces. If we are
on a space platform revolving
around the earth as a satellite,
centrifugal and gravitational
forces would be' equal and we
might feel ao "uppish" that
we should have a terrible
time determining down.
4. "If a large straight tub
ular hole were dug entirely
through the earth from one
side and through the center
to the directly opposite side,
what would happen to a man
dropped Into one end of this
hole?"
This Is a problem I once
worked when studying ana
lytical mechanics at school.
Let's say the men was drop
ped in feet first and there
was no air in the hole. The
first second he would fall 16
feet. His speed of fall would
constantly increase, although
not at the aame rate until he
reached the tcenter of the hole
about 4000 miles below the
surface. There he would be j
going five miles per second. 1
Then he would constantly go
slower and reach the other
end of the hole, feet up, in
42 minutes from the start.
Unless someone grabbed him,
he would then fall back the !
other way and constantly os-'
cillate back and forth through ;
the hole forever.
