If the earth has no rotational motion, the weight of a person on the equator is W.
Determine the speed with which the earth would have to rotate about its axis so that the Person at the equator will weight is   23W .
 [Radius of earth =6400 km and g=10m / s2]
 

a
1.1×103rad/sec
b
0.93×10−5rad/sec
c
0.72×10−3rad/sec
d
0.58×10−3rad/sec

detailed solution

Correct option is C

g1=g−ω2Rcos2θ ⇒2g3=g−ω2R ⇒ω2R=g−2g3=3g−2g3 ⇒ω2R=g3 ⇒ω=g3R ⇒ω=103×6400×103 ⇒ω=180×103=0.72×10−3rad/sec
