The speed of earth's rotation about its axis is ω Its  speed is increases to x times to make the effective acceleration due to gravity equal to zero at the equator. Then x is

a
1
b
8.5
c
17
d
34

detailed solution

Correct option is C

ω=2π24×3600g′=g−Reω2  or  0=g−Reω2or ,ω′=gReω′=2π84⋅6×60∴ ω′ω=24×360084⋅6×60=17
