Find the value of acceleration due to gravity at a place oa latitude `30^(@)`. Take, Radius of earth `= 6.38 xx 10^(6) m`

Text Solution

To find the value of acceleration due to gravity at a place with a latitude of \(30^\circ\), we will use the formula for the effective gravitational acceleration, which accounts for the rotation of the Earth. The formula is given by: \[ g_{\text{effective}} = g - \omega^2 R \cos^2 \lambda \] Where: - \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity at the equator, approximately \(9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2\). ...
