Questions
In order to make the effective acceleration due to gravity equal to zero at the equator, the angular velocity of rotation of the earth about its axis should be (g = 10 ms-2 and radius of earth is 6400 kms)
detailed solution
Correct option is B
g'=g−ω2Rcos2λ For weightlessness at equator λ=0 and g'= 0∴0=g−ω2R⇒ω=gR=1800 radsTalk to our academic expert!
