Answer

$\alpha=-6.14\times 10^{-22}\frac{rad}{s^2}$

Work Step by Step

We know that $\omega-\omega_{\circ}=\theta(\frac{-\Delta T}{T^2})$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\omega-\omega_{\circ}=(365rev\times \frac{2\pi \space rad}{rev})(\frac{-0.840}{(365d\times 24\frac{h}{d}\times 3600\frac{s}{h})^2})=-1.94\times 10^{-12}\frac{rad}{s}$ Now $\alpha_{avg}=\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\alpha=\frac{-1.94\times 10^{-12}}{100y\times 3.16\times 10^7\frac{s}{y}}=-6.14\times 10^{-22}\frac{rad}{s^2}$
