If the ice at the poles melts and flows towards the equator, how will it affect the duration of day-night?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mass will move towards euqator (away from axis) so I will increase therefore `omega` will decrease (as `Iomega=` contant) hence time period will increase
(as `T=(2pi)/(omega))`
