New York City is traveling around at a tangential speed of about 353 m/s (i.e., 790 mi/h) as the Earth spins. Assuming the planet is a sphere of radius 6371 km, how long is the perpendicular from the city to the spin axis? Compute the city's latitude (i.e., the angle measured above or below the equator).
