Which of the following are correct?

A

Out of electrostatic, electromagnetic, nuclear and gravitational interactions, the gravitational interaction is the weakest.

B

If the earth were to 'rotate faster than its present speed, the weight of an object would decrease at the equator but remain unchanged at the poles.

C

The mass of the earth in terms of `g, R` and `G` is `(gR^(2)//G)`.

D

If the earth stops rotating in its orbit around the Sun there will be no variation in the weight of a body on the surface of earth.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
