Statement I: If the earth suddenly stops rotating about its axis, then the acceleration due to gravity will become the same at all the places.
Statement II: The value of acceleration due to gravity is independent of rotation of the earth.

A

Statement I is True, Statement II is True: Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

B

Statement I is True, Statement II is True: Statement II is Not a correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The value of g at any place is given by
`g'=g-omega^(2)R_(e)cos^(2)lamda`
If `omega=0` then `g'=g`. The value of `g` will be same at all places.
