Question

The angular velocity of the earth with which it has to rotate so that the acceleration due to gravity on 60o latitude becomes zero is
  1. 2.5×103 rad s1
  2. 1.5×103 rad s1
  3. 4.5×103 rad s1
  4. 0.5×103 rad s1

A
4.5×103 rad s1
B
2.5×103 rad s1
C
1.5×103 rad s1
D
0.5×103 rad s1
Solution
Verified by Toppr

the acceleration due to gravity to rotate in terms of latitude(θ)
g=gw2Rcos2θ
0=gw2Rcos260
g=w2R4
w=4gR=2gR=2800
w=2.5×103radsec
