If the angular velocity of earth's spin is increased such that the bodies at the equator start floating, the duration of the day would be approximately ........ minutes (Take : \(g =10 \,ms ^{-2},\) the radius of earth, \(R =6400 \times 10^{3}\, m ,\) Take \(\left.\pi=3.14\right)\)

  1. A \(60\)
  2. B \(480\)
  3. C \(1200\)
  4. D \(84\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(84\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For objects to float \(mg = m \omega^{2} R\) \(\omega=\) angular velocity of earth. \(R =\) Radius of earth \(\omega=\sqrt{\frac{g}{R}}\) Duration of day \(= T\) \(T =\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}\) \(\Rightarrow T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ R }{ g }}\)…
