The numerical value of the angular veloc...

The numerical value of the angular velocity of rotation of the earth should be…….. Rad/s in order to make the effective acceleration due to gravity equal to zero.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
NA
`g'=g-Romega^(2)`
Here `g'=0`
`:. omega=sqrt(g/R)=1.23xx10^(-3)rad//s`
