relativity - Circular motion and time dilation


Einsteins' time paradox was shown when two atomic clocks were synchronized and one was sent in a super sonic plane and the other kept at rest. When the two where then checked it was shown that yes indeed the clock that took the plain trip had lost time when compared to the clock that was kept at rest.


My question is what if instead of one of the clocks going on a plain it was put into a centrifuge or some other device that spun it around and very high speeds would it feel the effects of time dilation in the same manner?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
