R is the radius of the earth and ω is its angular velocity and gp is the value of g at the poles. The effective value of g at the latitude λ=60° will be equal to

a
gp−14Rω2
b
gp−34Rω2
c
gp−Rω2
d
gp+14Rω2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

g=gp​−Rω2cos2λ=gp​−ω2Rcos260°=gp​−ω2R122=gp−14Rω2∵cos60°=12
