Abstract
The paper presents the necessity to assume that the Earth is a rigid body when using the Euler’s theory regarding the solid-rigid body with a fixed point, in the nutation problems. Also, the paper suggests which may be those external forces causing the two Chandler’s periods regarding the terrestrial variation of latitude. An opinion about the Chandler’s period of 426 days is presented.
Keywords
nutation, the Euler’s mechanical moment related to the Earth’s center, Chandler’s periods.
