    In order to make the effective acceleration due to gravity equal to zero at the equator, the angular velocity of rotation of the earth about its axis should be (\[g=10\,\,m{{s}^{-2}}\] and radius of earth is 64000 km)

    A) \[Zero\] 

    B)        \[\frac{1}{800}rad\,\,{{\sec }^{-1}}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{80}rad\,\,{{\sec }^{-1}}\]     

    D)        \[\frac{1}{8}\,rad\,\,{{\sec }^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[g'=g-{{\omega }^{2}}R{{\cos }^{2}}\lambda \] To make effective acceleration due to gravity zero at equator \[\lambda =0\] and \[g'=0\] \[\therefore \] \[0=g-{{\omega }^{2}}\,R\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\omega =\sqrt{\frac{g}{R}}=\frac{1}{800}\frac{rad}{s}\]
