Imagine we have a piece of string 25,000 miles long, just long enough to exactly circle the globe at the equator. We take the string and fit it snugly around the equator, over oceans, deserts and jungles. When we have completed our task, we find that the string is just one yard too long. To overcome the error, we decide to tie the ends together and to distribute the extra 36 inches evenly over the entire 25,000 miles, figuring that it will never be noticed. How far do you think the string will stand off from the ground at each point, merely by virtue of the fact that it is 36 inches (3 feet) too long? Explain your answer.
