Suppose that the angular velocity of rotation of earth is increased. Then, as a consequence.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Except at poles, weight of the object on the earth will decrease
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
With rotation of earth or latitude, acceleration due to gravity vary as \(g' = g - {\omega ^2}R\,\,{\cos ^2}\,\phi \) Where \(\phi \) is latitude, there will be no change in gravity at poles as \(\phi = 90^o\) At all other points as \(\omega \) increases \(g'\) will decreases hence, weight, \(W = mg\) decreases.
