The acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface at the poles is \(g\) and angular velocity of the earth about the axis passing through the pole is \(\omega .\) An object is weighed at the equator and at a height \(h\) above the poles by using a spring balance. If the weights are found to be same, then \(h\) is \(:( h << R ,\) where \(R\) is the radius of the earth)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{ R ^{2} \omega^{2}}{2 g }\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(g _{ e }= g - R \omega^{2}\)
\(g_{2}=g\left(1-\frac{2 h}{R}\right)\)
\(g_{2}=g-\frac{2 g h}{R}\)
Now \(R \omega^{2}=\frac{2 g h}{R}\)
\(h=\frac{R^{2} \omega^{2}}{2 g}\)
