On account of the earth rotating about its axis

Show on a diagram the vector that would represent the angular velocity of the earth rotating about its axis.

The angular velocity of the earth's rotation about its axis is omega . An object weighed by a spring balance gives the same reading at the equator as at height h above the poles. The value of h will be

Let omega be the angular velocity of the earth's rotation about its axis. Assume that the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface has the same value at the equator and the poles. An object weighed at the equator gives the same reading as a reading taken at a depth d below earth's surface at a pole (dlt ltR) . the value of d is-

A reference frame attached to the earth (a) is an inertial frame by definition (b) can not be an inertial frame because the earth is revolving around the sun (c ) is an inertial frame because Newton's laws are applicable in this frame (d) cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is rotating about its axis

A reference frame attached to the earth a) is an inertial frame by definition b) can not be an inertial frame because the earth is revolving around the sun c) is an inertial frame because Newton's laws are applicable in this frame d) cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is rotating about its axis

Assertion : If the earth stops rotating about its axis, the value of the weight of the body at equator will decrease. Reason : The centripetal force does not act on the body at the equator.

A satellite having time period same as that of the earth's rotation about its own axis is orbiting the earth at a height 8R above the surface of earth. Where R is radius of earth. What will be the time period of another satellite at a height 3.5 R from the surface of earth ?

Show that if the earth were not rotating about its axis the value of g at the equator would exceed its present value by 3.36cm//s^(-2) . Given the radius of earth = 6.371xx 10^(6)m . and angular speed of earth =7.27xx10^(-5)rad//s^(-1)

How mcuh faster than its present rate should the earth rotate about its axis so that the weight of a body at the equator becomes zero? Also calculate the new length of the day. (c ) What would happen if rotation becomes faster ?
