If it is assumed that the spinning motion of earth increases, then the weight of a body on equator (a) Decreases (b) Remains constant (c) Increases (d) Becomes more at poles

Step 1
Step 1: Write the expression for apparent weight on the equator: G' = g - ω^2r where: G' = apparent weight g = acceleration due to gravity ω = angular velocity Show more…

If the rotational speed of earth is increased then weight of a body at the equator: A. increases B. decreases C. becomes double D. does not change
Adi S.
If earth were to rotate faster than its present speed, the weight of an object will : (a) increase at the equator but remain unchanged at poles (b) decrease at the equator but remain unchanged at the poles (c) remain unchanged at the equator but decrease at the poles (d) remain unchanged at the equator but increase at the poles
If earth rotates faster than its present speed the weight of an object will. (A) increases at the equator but remain unchanged of the poles. (B) Decreases at the equator but remain unchanged at poles. (C) Remain unchanged at the equator but decreases at poles. (D) Remain unchanged at the equator but increases at the poles.
