Superman is correct.

The optimal body has axial symmetry and has the shape depicted at the picture below. The green dot denotes the point of maximal free-fall acceleration. The body can be described by relating distance r from the point at which the maximal acceleration is found as a function of the angle {theta} from the axis of symmetry (vertical black line).

r²=R²cos({theta}).

The acceleration at the green point will be g=(4/5)(15/4)^1/3{pi}^2/3M/V^2/3. This is only 2.6% larger than the gravity on the surface of a spherical planet.



The solution: Assume for a moment that we already know that the body should have axial symmetry. Consider a narrow ring of matter lying on the surface of the body. (Center of the ring coincides with the axis of symmetry and its plane is perpendicular to that axis. It is depicted on the figure below.) If the mass of the ring is dM and the distance between the points of the ring and the "green point" is r, then the contribution of the ring to free-fall acceleration will be G*{dM}cos({theta})/r².



If we remove this ring of material from the surface and place it somewhere else on the surface, it will have different r and different angle {theta}. Since the shape is optimal, it is "stationary", i.e. infinitesimal changes should not change the acceleration. This will happen only if cos({theta})/r² is constant. Consequently, r²=R²cos({theta}). The constant R denotes the maximal diameter of the body. Once the shape of the body is given, we can easily find (by an elementary integration^*) that its volume V=(4/15){pi}R³, while the acceleration at point g is given^** by the expression which has been presented above.

Aye, and if my granny had wheels she'd be a waggon...

In erudite terms, Baloney. That's a static solution. What's needed is a vector solution.

Ta-Da! Voila:

Enough with the serious stuff,y'all are making my head hurt!

When you want anything, you feel a stong desire for that.

When I wanted her I felt too strong a desire for her so it was a 'want' there. True, I didn't need her as she was not really required for my subsistence as I could successfully survive without her.

Cmon guess another. Its not me who expected anything. This quetion was asked to me by a third person. In fact I dont know what I expect but expect it to be same as what he thought.

Sometimes I think to offer him the dictionary and say that look 'ur word should be there'

If π is 3.14... is it still the same with Whipped cream on top?

A bit of trivia, my Original Nick "PhenomTT"  the TT was intended to emulate the Greek letter used for Pi and Phenom was short for phenomenon, together it was meant to represent an irrational number of perceived events. Ie .. me

does karma really ever get round to bitches?   ..or we just make ourselves feel better thinking it does..

Well, it may seem like it does at times. But it's really just random occurences.

You build up your own karma, and you are the one to eventually administer whatever is coming for you. There's nothing more to it.

(You be the judge of the accuracy of this. It's how I see things. It's a result of the insane amount of thining I've done over the years. I do not represent any theological organization, I only represent myself. )

Where is my damn Pizza?

ArileenDesign is looking for HG

When you find the pizza, you'll also find HG. It's written on concrete.

in pizza sauce?

You're asking for it, HG....

I don't recommend eating concrete, pizza sauced or not.

I've been thinking, if a piece of string comes up and inch short for my needs, would a rope suffice?

And if so, would starch aid in performing Indian rope tricks?

Late to the party again......

FIRESIGN THEATRE!!!!!!!
