A) \[4.83\times {{10}^{-3}}rad{{s}^{-1}}\]
B) \[5.41\times {{10}^{-3}}rad{{s}^{-1}}\]
C) \[7.82\times {{10}^{-4}}rad{{s}^{-1}}\]
D) \[8.88\times {{10}^{-14}}rad{{s}^{-1}}\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The apparent weight of person on the equator (latitude\[\lambda =0\]) is given by \[\omega =W-mR{{\omega }^{2}}\] Here, \[\omega =(3/5)w=(3/5)mg\] \[[\because \,\,\omega =mg]\] or \[mR{{\omega }^{2}}=mg-(3/5)mg=\left( \frac{2}{5} \right)mg\] or \[{{\omega }^{2}}=\frac{2g}{5R}\] \[\omega =\sqrt{\frac{2g}{5R}}\] Here, \[g=9.8m{{s}^{-2}}\] and \[R=6400km=6400\times {{10}^{3}}m\] \[\therefore \] \[\omega =\sqrt{\left( \frac{2}{5}\times \frac{9.8}{6400\times {{10}^{3}}} \right)}rad{{s}^{-1}}\] \[=7.82\,\times {{10}^{-4\,}}\,rad{{s}^{-1}}\]
