    If earth contracts to half its radius, what would be the length of the day?

    Answer:

                    The moment of inertia \[(I=\frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}})\] of the earth about its own axis will become one fourth and so its angular velocity will become four times \[L=I\omega =\] constant). Hence the time period will reduce to one fourth \[(T=2\pi /\omega )\]i.e., 6 hours.
