Re: [Phys-L] field of an ellipsoidal distribution



Now let's consider a different case, namely a rigid, strictly
spherical, spinning earth. You can't ask what happens to a
table floating in a lake, because there can't be any lakes.

Nitpick (without significant consequence, but interesting to consider): Technically, you actually can have a "lake" encircling the globe about the equator.
