To solve the problem, we need to find the new time period (T) at which the weight of a body on the equator becomes zero when the Earth increases its speed of rotation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Condition for Weight to be Zero:** The weight of a body becomes zero when the centrifugal force due to the Earth's rotation equals the gravitational force acting on the body. The centrifugal force can be expressed as \( F_c = m \omega^2 R \), where \( m \) is the mass of the body, \( \omega \) is the angular velocity, and \( R \) is the radius of the Earth. 2. **Gravitational Force:** ...
