The angular velocity of the earth with which it has to rotate so that the acceleration due to gravity on 60° latitude becomes zero

a
2.5×10-3 rad s-1
b
1.5×10-3 rad s-1
c
4.5×10-3 rad s-1
d
0.5×10-3 rad s-1

detailed solution

Correct option is A

gλ=g−Rω2cos2λ,givenλ=600 ⇒0=g−Rω2cos260 ⇒g=Rω2122 ⇒10=6400×1000×ω24 ⇒ω2=1160000⇒ω=1160000=1400=0.25×10-2=2.5×10-3rad/s
