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-

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 by a spring balance gives the same reading at the equator as at a height h above the poles (h lt lt R) . The value of h is

Use the assumptions of the previous question. An object weighed by a spring balance at the equator gives the same reading as a reading taken at a depth d below the earths surface at a pole (d gt gt R) . The value of d is

The earth rotates about its own axis, then the value of acceleration due to gravity is
