    If R is the radius of earth, \[\omega \] is its angular velocity and \[{{g}_{p}}\] is the value of acceleration due to gravity at the poles, then effective value of acceleration due to gravity at the latitude, \[\lambda ={{60}^{o}}\] will be equal to:

    A)  \[{{g}_{p}}-\frac{1}{4}R{{\omega }^{2}}\]       

    B)  \[{{g}_{p}}-\frac{3}{4}\,\,{{\omega }^{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{g}_{p}}-R\,{{\omega }^{2}}\]             

    D)  \[{{g}_{p}}+\frac{1}{2}R\,{{\omega }^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    As we know that the gravitational acceleration At           \[g'={{g}_{p}}-R{{\omega }^{2}}\,{{\cos }^{2}}\lambda \]                 \[\lambda ={{60}^{o}}\]                 \[g'={{g}_{p}}-\frac{R{{\omega }^{2}}}{4}\]
