JEE Main & Advanced Physics Gravitation / गुरुत्वाकर्षण Question Bank Acceleration Due to Gravity

  • question_answer
    The angular velocity of the earth with which it has to rotate so that acceleration due to gravity on 60o latitude becomes zero is (Radius of earth = 6400 km. At the poles \[g=10\,m{{s}^{-2}})\] [EAMCET 2000]

    A)             \[2.5\times {{10}^{-3}}rad/s\]

    B)               \[5.0\times {{10}^{-1}}rad/s\]

    C)             \[10\times {{10}^{1}}rad/s\]           

    D)             \[7.8\times {{10}^{-2}}rad/s\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[{g}'=g-{{\omega }^{2}}R{{\cos }^{2}}\lambda \]Þ\[0=g-{{\omega }^{2}}R{{\cos }^{2}}{{60}^{o}}\]             \[0=g-\frac{{{\omega }^{2}}R}{4}\,\Rightarrow \,\omega =2\sqrt{\frac{g}{R}}=\frac{1}{400}\frac{rad}{\sec }\]     \[=2.5\times {{10}^{-3}}\frac{rad}{sec}\]
