The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the final angular speed \( \omega_1 \) of the Earth such that the effective acceleration due to gravity at the equator becomes zero. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Effective Gravity**: The effective acceleration due to gravity \( g_{\text{effective}} \) at the equator can be expressed as: \[ g_{\text{effective}} = g - r \omega^2 \] where \( g \) is the standard acceleration due to gravity, \( r \) is the radius of the Earth, and \( \omega \) is the angular speed of the Earth's rotation. 2. **Setting Effective Gravity to Zero**: To find the angular speed \( \omega_1 \) that makes the effective gravity zero at the equator, we set: \[ g_{\text{effective}} = 0 \] Thus, we have: \[ 0 = g - r \omega_1^2 \] 3. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging the equation gives: \[ r \omega_1^2 = g \] 4. **Solving for \( \omega_1 \)**: Dividing both sides by \( r \): \[ \omega_1^2 = \frac{g}{r} \] Taking the square root of both sides, we find: \[ \omega_1 = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}} \] 5. **Final Result**: The final angular speed \( \omega_1 \) required to make the effective acceleration due to gravity equal to zero at the equator is: \[ \omega_1 = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}} \]
