 If the speed of rotation of earth increases from existing speed, then the weight of a body is ...... 

A

increases at an equator and remain unchanged at pole.

B

decreases at an equator and remain unchanged at poles.

C

remains unchanged at an equator but decreases at poles.

D

remains unchanged at an equator but increases at poles.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`implies` At equator `g=g- Romega^2 cos lamda`
here `lamda=0`
`:.g. = g - Romega^2`
`:.` Angular speed increase, g. decreases
At poles `lamda = 90^@`
`:.g. = g `
`:.g.` remains constant
