LAW OF ROTATION OF A CONCENTRIC OBJECT |
Law of rotation of a concentric object :-
The orbital period of two concentric objects and their connecting period always form a definite mathematical equation. If two objects move in the same direction at the same time, They will always be in the same position relative to the center.
If two objects orbiting at the same direction at different times, then in the period of the orbiting object in the longest time, the amount of orbital number of the orbiting object in less time will be 1 more than the value of the number of their connecting times.
Subject of the new law of Astronomy are
The longest orbiting object is H.
Orbiting in less time M.
And their connection time to the center is Mh.
So the mathematical equation formed by them will be
H/M - H/Mh = 1 ---- ( a )
This is the first new law of Astronomy
Now we get from this equation
Mh = H.M/( H - M ) --- (1)
H = Mh.M/(Mh - M) --- (2)
M = H.Mh/(H+Mh) --- (3)
We get these equations from new law of Astronomy (a)
Keeping H =12 hours
= 12×60 = 720 minutes
M = 60 minutes.
We get from (1)
Mh = H.M/(H-M).
Mh = 720 × 60/( 720 - 60 ) minutes
Mh = 65.454545-- minutes
So we can easily say that the minute hand revolves around the hour cut in 65.4545--------- minutes.

Law of rotation of a concentric objects |
If the objects H and M were moving in opposite directions to each other, the equation would occur
H/Mh - H/M = 1
This is the second new law of Astronomy.
Now we get from this equation
Mh = H.M/(H+M) --- (4)
H = M.Mh/(M-Mh) --- (5)
M = H.Mh/(H-Mh) --- (6)
We get these equations from new law of Astronomy (b)
If two objects revolved opposite each other, their connection time would be Mh relative to their center. We get from (4)
Mh = H.M/(H+M)
= 720 × 60/(720 + 60)
= 55.384615 ------ minutes
That is, if two objects revolve in opposite directions to each other, then their connection period will be 55.384615----- minutes.
With this formula we can determine the actual rotation period of the earth.
Determining the correct rotation period of the earth : -
The general principle of surveying to work from the whole to the part. So I chose a larger value first.
We know that the first point of Aries ( and therefore first point of Libra also ) moves slowly backward ( i.e. ,in the direction opposite to that of the sun's annual motion among the stars ) along the ecliptic and it would take 813941638698 seconds ~ 25,793 years to complete one revolution.
The Earth is making a full rotation relative to the first point of Aries in 86164.0905 seconds ( 23 hor 56 min 4.1 sec ).
We get from (6)
M = H.Mh/(H-Mh) 》》
E = P.Ep/(P - Ep)
= 86164.09962 seconds
~ 86164.0996 seconds
So our earth completes one orbit on its own axis in about 23 hours 56 minutes 4.100 seconds ( Upcoming values ​​up to three decimals ).
Determine the synodic month :-
So, the mean length of the Synodic month is 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes 03 seconds
