Suspend your disbelief for a moment,

If you tied a length of string around the full circumference of the Earth so it was taught, then made it one metre longer so it floated at a uniform height around the whole Earth, how high would it float? Assume the Earth is a perfect sphere 12,756.3km in diameter.

If you can't work it out, take a guess. Remember that it's a piece of string going around the whole Earth - how high off the ground would it be if you made it 1 metre longer?
