The speed of earth's rotation about its axis is o. Its speed is increased to x times to make the effective acceleration due to gravity equal to zero at the equator. Then x is

  • 1

  • 8.5

  • 17

  • 34


C.

Earth rotates about its own axis in 24 h.

So,            T =24 x 60 x 60 s

So, angular speed of earth about its own axis

              ω = 2πTω = 2π24 × 60 × 60rad/s   

At equator  g' = g - Re ω'2

                0 = g - Reω'2 ω' = gRe          = 2π84.6 × 60  ω'ω = 24 ×60 × 6084.6 × 60

                          ≈ 17

                     ω' = 17ω

So, value of x is 17.
