Suppose partial melting of the polar ice caps increases the moment of inertia of the Earth from 0.331 M E R E 2 to 0.332 M E R E 2. (a) Would the length of a day (the time required for the Earth to complete one revolution about its axis) increase or decrease? Explain. (b) Calculate the change in the length of a day. Give your answer in seconds.
