Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the angular speed at which the Earth should rotate so that the apparent weight of an object at the equator becomes zero, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Apparent Weight**: The apparent weight \( W' \) of an object is given by the formula: \[ W' = mg - mR_e \omega^2 \cos^2(\lambda) ...
