If radius of the earth contracts to half of its present value without change in its mass, what will be the new duration of the day?

A

`6 h`

B

`12 h`

C

`48 h`

D

`96 h`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(2)/(5)mr^(2)omega=(2)/(5)m((r )/(2))^(2)omega_(2)`
`omega_(2)=4omega`
`(2pi)/(T_(2))=4xx(2pi)/(24)`
`T_(2)=6h`
