If the earth were to suddenly shrink to ...

If the earth were to suddenly shrink to `I//n` of its present radius without any change in its mass the duration of the new day will be

A

`(24)/(n)h`

B

`24 n h`

C

`(24)/(n^(2))h`

D

`24 n^(2) h`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Here `I_(1)omega_(2)=I_(2)omega_(2)`
`(2)/(5)MR^(2)((2pi)/(24))=(2)/(5)(MR^(2))/(n^(2))((2pi)/(T))`
`T=(24)/(n^(2))`
