In lieu of the calculation before given us in the previous post,
and verification of Gs .77g=(7.58 ms^2 / 9.8 ms^2 "1 g") and the
alledged 200 foot diam, I have deduced that the radius prescribed by
the the testers used the English "imperial" feet method to mark the
distance.
Since some poor king's foot was used as the model for this standard
"monarchs name escapes me now", I have concluded through solid
scientific means that this poor kings feet were appoximately 31 U.S.
inches long.
BTW Some people say there is a strong correlation beteween the
size of ones feet and the size of ones......
Shoe.
