This means that points further from the rotation centre will travel at greater speeds than those closer in. If the rotating body is not solid, however, regions that are adjacent at one point in time do not necessarily maintain that configuration. This is known as â differential rotation â. All the points in a rotating solid body maintain their position with respect to each other.
Confidence votes 25.2K. Gerald Ford was U. S. President for about two years and five months, from August, 1974 until January, 1977.
He fell narrowly short of election to a full term in 1976. Ford's tenure was briefer than that of any but four Presidents, and the shortest among the nine Vice Presidents who have filled out the term of a President. His administration produced no landmark legislative enactments or era making foreign policy triumphs.
